He suggested that the owner just give the noisy basketball a rest. +The owner thought about it and finally agreed to the idea. +He put the basketball away in a corner and it stayed there, silent and still. +After a few days, the owner took out the basketball and noticed how rested and quiet it was. The basketball had learnt its lesson - sometimes it is better to take a break and be quiet rather than wasting energy being noisy. + +The owner was very proud and he thanked his friend, who had helped him to repair the situation and learn a valuable lesson. +Once upon a time, there was a poor bunny. He wanted so much to have a friend, but he could not find another bunny. One day, an angel appeared in the sky and said, "Choose - Earth or Heaven. You will be happy forever if you choose Heaven."

The Bunny thought and thought, and he chose a flower. + +The Angel smiled again. "Ah, the poor bunny chose a flower. But he must pay for it."

"No, no," it said, "I was looking for this nut all day. It's mine, You can't take it." + +Bella sighed. She wanted to take the nut, but she knew it wasn't right. + +"I'm sorry," she said, "I didn't know it was yours". She stood up and started to leave. + +But then the squirrel stopped her. "Wait!" it said, "I have an idea. We can both have it. I'll crack the nut open and we can both eat." + +Bella nodded, smiling. "Yes, that sounds perfect!" she said. + +So the two of them worked together, carefully cracking the nut open and sharing the pieces.

Anna wanted to use only brown blocks, because the big church was brown. Ben wanted to use other colors too, because he thought they were pretty. They argued and fought over the blocks. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Some of the blocks fell down and broke. + +A teacher saw them and came to stop them. She asked them why they were fighting. Anna and Ben told her their reasons. The teacher said, "You are both wrong. A church is not just a building. A church is a place where people love God and each other. It doesn't matter what color the blocks are, as long as you build it with kindness and respect. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to share the blocks and use different colors. They worked together and built a beautiful church. They were happy and proud of their work. They learned that building a church is not only about blocks, but also about friendship and faith. +Anna likes to play on the swing. She likes to go high and fast. She feels independent on the swing. She does not need help from anyone. + +One day, she meets a new friend at the park. His name is Ben. He also likes to play on the swing. He asks Anna if he can swing with her. + +"Hi, my name is Ben. What is your name?" he says. + +"My name is Anna. I like to swing. Do you like to swing?" she says. + +"Yes, I like to swing. Can I swing with you?" he says. + +"OK, you can swing with me. But I swing high and fast. Can you swing high and fast?" she says. + +"Yes, I can swing high and fast. I am independent too. I do not need help from anyone." he says. + +They swing together. They have fun. They become friends. They like to be independent on the swing. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They run to the slide and take turns to go down. Whee! + +Then they see a big cage. Inside the cage, there is a lion. The lion is hairy and has a long tail. He looks sad and bored. Lily and Tom want to see the lion better. They go closer to the cage. + +"Hello, lion," Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The lion does not answer. He just stares at Lily and Tom. He opens his mouth and shows his big teeth. + +"Maybe he is hungry," Tom says. "Let's give him some of our snacks." + +Lily and Tom have some cookies and apples in their backpacks. They take them out and throw them to the lion. The lion does not eat them. He just sniffs them and pushes them away. + +"Maybe he does not like cookies and apples," Lily says. "Maybe he likes something else." + +The lion looks at Lily and Tom again. He licks his lips. He has an idea. He pretends to be friendly. He makes a soft sound and wags his tail. + +"Look, he wants to be our friend," Tom says. "Let's go inside the cage and pet him." + +Lily and Tom are not smart. They do not know that the lion is dangerous. They do not see the sign that says "Do not enter". They open the door of the cage and go inside. The lion is happy. He waits for them to come closer. + +Lily and Tom reach the lion. They try to touch his fur. The lion does not let them. He jumps on them and bites them. He eats them up. He is not hungry anymore. He is not sad and bored anymore. He is full and happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. They had a lot of fun, but sometimes they made too much noise and their mom would tell them to be quiet. + +One day, their mom had a big headache and she needed some peace. She asked Lily and Ben to play in their room and not to bother her. Lily and Ben nodded and took their toys to their room. They tried to play quietly, but they still wanted to have fun. + +"Let's play disappear!" Lily said. "We can hide under the blanket and say 'boo!' to each other." + +"OK!" Ben said. "You go first. I will count to ten and then look for you." + +Lily ran to the bed and crawled under the blanket. She giggled and waited for Ben to find her. Ben counted to ten and then walked to the bed. He lifted the blanket and said "boo!" + +But Lily was not there. She had disappeared. Ben was surprised and scared. He looked around the room and saw no sign of Lily. He called her name, but she did not answer. He started to cry. + +"Where are you, Lily? Come back, please! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" + +Lily heard Ben crying and felt bad. She had not really disappeared. She had just crawled out of the blanket and hid behind the closet. She wanted to play a trick on Ben, but she did not know he would be so sad. She came out of her hiding place and ran to Ben. She hugged him and said "I'm here, Ben! I'm sorry, I was just playing. Don't cry, please!" + +Ben saw Lily and stopped crying. He hugged her back and said "I'm glad you're here, Lily! I was so worried. Don't disappear again, please!" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said sorry to each other. They decided to play a different game, one that did not make anyone disappear or cry. They played with their toys and made each other laugh. They were happy and quiet. Their mom heard them and smiled. She was happy and peaceful. She thanked them for being good and gave them a big kiss. +Lily and Sam liked to pretend they were on a big adventure. They had a red bike with two pedals and a basket. They put their toys in the basket and rode around the park. + +"Look, Lily, there is a dragon!" Sam said, pointing to a big tree. "We have to be brave and fight it!" + +Lily nodded and pedaled faster. She took a stick from the basket and waved it like a sword. "Roar! I am a knight and you are a dragon! You can't scare me!" + +The tree did not move or make any sound. It was just a regular tree. But Lily and Sam did not care. They had fun pretending it was a dragon. + +They rode to another part of the park, where there was a pond with ducks. "Look, Sam, there is a princess!" Lily said, pointing to a girl with a pink dress and a crown. "We have to save her from the evil witch!" + +Sam nodded and pedaled faster. He took a ball from the basket and threw it like a magic spell. "Zap! I am a wizard and you are a witch! You can't hurt the princess!" + +The girl did not notice them or say anything. She was just a regular girl. But Lily and Sam did not care. They had fun pretending she was a princess. + +They rode back to their home, where their mom was waiting for them. "Did you have a good time, my little adventurers?" she asked, smiling. + +"Yes, mom, we did!" Lily and Sam said, hugging her. "We fought a dragon and saved a princess!" + +Mom laughed and kissed them. "You are very creative and brave, my darlings. I love you very much." + +Lily and Sam loved their mom very much too. They were happy to have a regular bike, a regular park, and a regular mom. But they also loved to pretend they had a big adventure. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big book under a tree. The book is old and thin. The pages are yellow and torn. + +"Look, a story book!" Lily says. She opens the book and tries to read. "Once upon a time, there was a..." + +She stops. The words are hard and strange. She does not know them. + +"Let me see," Tom says. He takes the book and looks at the pictures. He sees a castle, a dragon, a princess and a knight. "Wow, this is a cool story!" + +He turns the page. He sees a big hole in the paper. He can see the grass through the hole. He frowns. + +"What happened?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe the book is very old. Maybe it is rotting." + +"Rotting?" Lily repeats. She does not like that word. It sounds bad and scary. + +"Yes, rotting," Tom says. "That means it is breaking and falling apart. Like old food or old leaves." + +Lily feels sad. She likes the book. She wants to read the story. She does not want it to rot. + +"Can we fix it?" she asks. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know how to fix a book. He is only three years old. + +"Maybe we can make our own story," he says. He smiles. He has an idea. + +He takes a crayon from his pocket. He draws on the book. He draws a big sun, a rainbow, a flower and a butterfly. + +"See, this is our story," he says. "It is a happy story. It is about us and the park." + +Lily smiles too. She likes Tom's story. She takes another crayon. She draws a heart and writes their names. + +"Lily and Tom," she says. "The end." + +They hug the book. They do not care if it is old and thin and rotting. They love it. It is their story. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow on the ground. They put on their coats, hats, boots and gloves and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman. + +They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, a hat and some buttons to decorate their snowman. They gave him a smile and a name. They called him Bob. + +"Bob is so charming!" Lily said. "He looks happy and friendly." + +"Yes, he does!" Tom agreed. "Let's play with him." + +They threw snowballs at each other and Bob. They made snow angels and snow forts. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was coming down the street. It had a big plow on the front. It was pushing the snow away. + +"Look out!" Tom shouted. "The truck is coming!" + +They ran away from the street. But they forgot about Bob. The truck did not see Bob. It hit him with the plow. It smashed him into pieces. The carrot, the scarf, the hat and the buttons flew in the air. + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked back. They saw what happened to Bob. They felt very sad. They started to cry. They trembled from the cold and the shock. + +"Bob!" Lily sobbed. "He was our friend!" + +"I know!" Tom said. "He was the best snowman ever!" + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished they could bring Bob back. But they couldn't. Bob was gone. The end. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big can of gas in the garage. They think it is water for the cars and trucks. + +"Let's give gas to our cars and trucks!" Sam says. "They will go faster and louder!" + +"Okay!" Mia says. "I will give gas to my red truck. You give gas to your blue car." + +They open the can and pour some gas into their toys. Then they try to make them move. But nothing happens. The gas does not make the toys go. It only makes them smell bad. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. "This gas is not water. It is spicy and stinky. It hurts my nose and eyes." + +"Me too!" Mia says. "This gas is not good for our cars and trucks. It is good for nothing." + +They are sad and angry. They want to play with their toys, but the gas has ruined them. They wish they had not found the can of gas. + +"Let's go inside and tell Mom and Dad," Sam says. "Maybe they can help us. Maybe they can fix our cars and trucks." + +"Okay," Mia says. "But first, let's throw away this can of gas. We don't want it anymore." + +They take the can of gas and put it in the trash. Then they go inside and tell their parents what happened. Their parents are not happy, but they are not mad. They hug Sam and Mia and tell them to be careful next time. They also tell them that gas is not water, but a dangerous thing that only grown-ups can use. They explain that gas is for cars and trucks that are real, not toys. They say that gas can make fire and hurt people and animals. + +Sam and Mia are sorry and scared. They say they are sorry and they will not touch gas again. They ask their parents to fix their cars and trucks. Their parents say they will try, but they are not sure if they can. They say that some things can be fixed, but some things cannot. They say that sometimes, we have to learn from our mistakes. + +Sam and Mia nod and hug their parents. They hope their cars and trucks can be fixed. They also hope they can find something else to play with. Something that is not spicy and stinky. Something that is fun and safe. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things. They saw birds and dogs and flowers. They saw a big slide and a swing. They wanted to play. + +Tom ran to the slide. He climbed up and slid down. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" Lily followed him. She climbed up and slid down too. She smiled and said, "This is fun too!" + +But then they saw a boy. He was on the swing. He swung very high. He let go of the rope. He flew in the air. He landed on the grass. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Tom and Lily stopped. They looked at the boy. They felt sorry for him. They said, "Are you okay?" The boy said, "No, I hurt my arm. I was foolish. I wanted to fly like a bird. But I can't." + +Mom came over. She saw the boy. She said, "Oh, dear. You need a band-aid. Come with me. I have one in my bag." She took the boy to a bench. She put a band-aid on his arm. She said, "Don't do that again. Swings are for swinging, not flying. Flying is for birds, not boys." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We won't do that. We will be careful." They went back to the slide. They played some more. They had a good day. They were not foolish. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see a big field of wheat. The wheat is yellow and soft. + +"Let's make a maze in the wheat!" Lily says. "We can hide and seek." + +"OK!" Ben says. They start to run and make paths in the wheat. + +But the farmer is not happy. He sees the children in his wheat. He is fat and angry. He shouts at them. + +"Hey! Get out of my wheat! You are ruining my crop!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They try to find their way out of the maze. But they are lost. They hear the farmer coming closer. + +"Help!" Lily cries. "Where is the exit?" + +"I don't know!" Ben says. "We are trapped!" + +They see a big dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail. He barks at the farmer. + +"Go away!" the dog says to the farmer. "These are my friends!" + +The dog helps Lily and Ben. He shows them the way out of the maze. They run to the fence and climb over it. + +"Thank you, dog!" Lily and Ben say. "You are a hero!" + +The dog smiles. He likes the children. He hopes they will come back and play with him. +Lily and Ben wanted to make a snowman. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They took a spade and a carrot from the shed. They ran outside to the garden, where the snow was white and soft. + +They rolled a big ball of snow for the body, and a smaller one for the head. They used the spade to make arms and legs. They put the carrot for the nose, and two stones for the eyes. They found a scarf and a hat to dress the snowman. They were very happy with their snowman. He looked friendly and funny. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "Do you like your new home?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said, pretending to be the snowman. "Thank you for making me!" + +Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the snowman. They felt very comfortable and warm, even though it was cold outside. + +But they did not see the sun coming out from behind the clouds. The sun was bright and hot. It started to melt the snow. The snowman began to shiver and drip. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mr. Snowman is melting!" + +"We have to save him!" Ben said. "Let's move him to the shade!" + +They tried to push the snowman, but he was too heavy and wet. They could not move him. They watched as the snowman became smaller and smaller, until he was gone. + +Lily and Ben felt very sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman!" they said. "We will miss you!" + +They went back to the house, where their mom gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They told her about their snowman, and how he melted. She hugged them and said they could make another one, when it snowed again. + +Lily and Ben smiled and felt better. They knew they would always remember their snowman, and the fun they had with him. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, they find a long cable in the garage. It is black and thick and has a plug at one end. They wonder what it is for. They decide to use it as a road for their cars. They lay it on the floor and make a loop. They put their cars on the cable and start to drive. + +"Look, Sue, my car is faster than yours!" Tom says. He has a red car with big wheels. + +"No, it is not, Tom. My car is smarter than yours!" Sue says. She has a blue car with lights. + +They drive their cars around the cable, trying to catch each other. They have fun and laugh. + +But then, something happens. Tom's car gets stuck on the plug. It cannot move. Tom tries to pull it, but it does not work. He gets angry and cries. + +"Help me, Sue! My car is broken!" Tom says. + +Sue stops her car and goes to help Tom. She sees the plug and has an idea. She looks for a socket on the wall. She finds one and plugs the cable in. She hopes it will make the car work again. + +But then, something else happens. The cable starts to buzz and spark. It makes a loud noise and a bad smell. The cars start to shake and smoke. Tom and Sue get scared and scream. + +"Mommy! Daddy! Help us!" they say. + +Mommy and Daddy hear them and run to the garage. They see the cable and the cars. They quickly unplug the cable and take the cars away. They hug Tom and Sue and calm them down. + +"Are you okay, kids? What were you doing?" Mommy asks. + +"We were playing with our cars on the cable. We wanted to drive, but the cable was bad. It hurt our cars and us!" Tom says. + +"That was not a good idea, kids. The cable is not a road. It is for electricity. It can be dangerous. You should never play with it or plug it in. Do you understand?" Daddy says. + +Tom and Sue nod and say sorry. They are sad and sorry for their cars. They hope they can fix them. + +Mommy and Daddy smile and say it is okay. They say they will try to fix the cars later. They say they are glad the kids are safe. They say they love them. + +They take Tom and Sue to the living room. They give them some cookies and milk. They give them some soft toys to cuddle. They tell them a story. They make them happy again. +Lily and her mom went to the farm to see the animals. Lily liked the cows, the pigs, and the sheep, but her favorite was the chicken. She named the chicken Fluffy and gave her some corn. + +"Hello, Fluffy," Lily said. "You are so soft and nice. Do you like me?" + +Fluffy clucked and pecked at the corn. She followed Lily around the farm and stayed close to her. Lily was happy. She had a new friend. + +One day, Lily and her mom came to the farm again. But they could not find Fluffy. Lily was sad. She looked everywhere, but Fluffy was gone. + +"Where is Fluffy, mom?" Lily asked. "Did she go away?" + +Mom shook her head. "No, Lily. Fluffy is still here. But she is hiding. She is scared of the big dog." + +Lily saw a big dog barking at the fence. He looked mean and angry. He wanted to catch the chicken. + +"Fluffy, Fluffy, where are you?" Lily called. "Don't be scared. I will protect you." + +Then, Lily heard a soft cluck behind a haystack. She ran to the haystack and saw Fluffy. Fluffy was happy to see Lily. She ran to her and snuggled in her arms. + +"Fluffy, you are safe now," Lily said. "I won't let the big dog hurt you. You are my loyal friend." + +Lily hugged Fluffy and smiled. She was happy. She had found her friend. +Jenny and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. They share their toys and have fun. They love each other. + +One day, a new girl comes to their class. Her name is Lisa. She has long hair and a pretty dress. She brings a big teddy bear with her. Jenny and Tom want to see the teddy bear. They go to Lisa and say hello. + +"Hi, Lisa. We are Jenny and Tom. Can we play with your teddy bear?" Jenny asks. + +"Sure, you can play with my teddy bear. He is very soft and cuddly. His name is Mr. Fluffy. Do you want to hug him?" Lisa says. + +Jenny and Tom hug Mr. Fluffy. He is very soft and cuddly. They like him a lot. They smile at Lisa. They want to be friends with her. + +But Lisa does not smile back. She looks at Jenny and Tom with angry eyes. She does not want to share her teddy bear. She does not want to be friends with them. She is jealous of their love. + +She snatches Mr. Fluffy from their arms. She hugs him tight and says, "No, you can't play with my teddy bear. He is mine. Only mine. Go away. I don't like you." + +Jenny and Tom are sad and confused. They don't understand why Lisa is so mean. They look at each other and hold hands. They walk away from Lisa and her teddy bear. They still love each other. + +The end. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a loyal dog named Spot, who always followed them and barked happily. + +One day, they saw a bee flying near a flower. Lily wanted to touch it, but Max said, "No, no, Lily, bee can hurt you. Bee has a sting. Sting is sharp and ouchy." + +Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand to the bee. The bee did not like that. The bee felt scared and angry. The bee used its sting on Lily's hand. Lily cried out loud. It hurt a lot. + +Spot heard Lily's cry. He ran to her and licked her hand. He wanted to make her feel better. He also barked at the bee. He wanted to protect Lily and Max from the bee. + +Lily hugged Spot and said, "Thank you, Spot. You are a good dog. You are a loyal dog. I love you." + +Max hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have helped you. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm okay, Max. It still hurts, but Spot made it better. You are a good brother. I love you." + +They went inside the house and showed their mom what happened. Their mom gave Lily some ice and a band-aid. She also gave them some cookies and milk. She said, "You are brave, Lily. You are kind, Max. You are lucky, Spot. I love you all." +Lily liked to help her grandma in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron that grandma gave her. She helped to stir the soup, to cut the bread, and to set the table. She felt very happy and proud. + +One day, a big dog came into the kitchen. He was brown and furry, and he had a long tail. He saw Lily and ran towards her. He wanted to play, but he did not know how to be gentle. He jumped on Lily and knocked her down. He bit her apron and tore it. He spilled the soup and broke the bread. He made a big mess. + +Lily was scared and angry. She cried and shouted. "Go away, bad dog! You destroy my apron and grandma's food! You are not nice!" + +Grandma heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the dog and Lily. She was shocked and worried. She grabbed a broom and chased the dog away. She hugged Lily and comforted her. "Don't worry, my dear. You are safe and brave. The dog is gone now. He did not mean to hurt you. He was just silly and naughty. We can clean up the mess and make a new apron and food. I love you very much." + +Lily calmed down and smiled. She loved her grandma too. She said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. Can we make cookies now?" + +Grandma nodded and kissed her. "Of course, we can. Let's go and have some fun." +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to run, jump, and climb on the hay. One day, they saw a big bull in the field. The bull had horns, a ring, and a bad mood. + +"Let's go and tease the bull!" said Tom. "It will be fun!" + +"No, Tom, that is rude!" said Sam. "The bull will be angry and hurt us!" + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He ran to the fence and shouted at the bull. He made faces and noises. He threw stones and sticks. The bull did not like that. He snorted and stamped. He charged at the fence. + +Sam was scared. He ran away and hid behind a tree. He hoped Tom would stop and realize he was wrong. But Tom did not stop. He kept teasing the bull. He thought he was brave and funny. + +But he was not. He was foolish and mean. The bull was stronger and faster. He broke the fence and ran after Tom. Tom was surprised and afraid. He tried to run away, but it was too late. The bull caught him and tossed him in the air. Tom fell down and hurt himself. He cried and wished he had listened to Sam. + +Sam came out from behind the tree. He saw Tom on the ground. He felt sorry for him, but he also felt angry. He went to help him and said, "Tom, you were rude to the bull. You did not realize he was a living thing with feelings. You did not realize he could hurt you. You did not realize you were wrong. You should say sorry to the bull and to me." + +Tom nodded. He was ashamed and sorry. He said sorry to the bull and to Sam. He learned his lesson. He realized he should be kind and respectful to animals and to friends. He realized he should not be rude. He realized he should listen to Sam. He hoped the bull and Sam would forgive him. He hoped they could still be friends and play on the farm. He hoped he would never be rude again. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +Lily sees a bottle of lotion on the table. She wants to try it. She picks it up and tries to open it. She twists and pulls, but it is too hard. She gets angry and snaps at Ben. + +"Give me that! You are too little to open it!" + +Ben is surprised and sad. He likes the lotion too. He wants to share with Lily. He says in a gentle voice: + +"Please don't yell at me, Lily. We can open it together. Let me help you." + +Lily feels sorry. She knows she was mean to Ben. She says sorry and gives him a hug. They work together to open the bottle. They squeeze some lotion on their hands and rub it on their skin. It smells nice and makes them soft. + +They smile and say: + +"This is a good lotion. We like it. Thank you for sharing, Lily. Thank you for helping, Ben." + +They go back to playing in the water. They are happy and kind to each other. +Lily was a little girl who loved to draw. She had many crayons and papers, and she liked to make pictures of animals, flowers, and people. She wanted to improve her drawing skills, so she practiced every day. She was eager to show her drawings to her friends and family. + +One day, she decided to draw a duck. She had seen a duck at the park, and she thought it was cute and funny. She took a yellow crayon and a blue crayon, and started to draw a big circle for the body, a small circle for the head, a triangle for the beak, and two lines for the legs. She added some feathers and a wing, and then she colored the duck with the yellow crayon. She used the blue crayon to draw a pond around the duck. + +She was very proud of her duck, and she wanted to show it to her mom. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She held up her drawing and said, "Look, mom, I drew a duck!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's very nice, Lily. I can see you worked hard on it. But can I tell you something?" + +Lily nodded, curious. + +Her mom said, "You know, ducks are not all yellow. Some ducks have different colors, like brown, black, white, or green. And ducks have webbed feet, not straight feet. And ducks have a tail, not just a wing. Do you want to see some pictures of real ducks?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her yellow duck, but she also wanted to learn more about ducks. She said, "Yes, please, mom. I want to see real ducks." + +Her mom took her to the living room, where they had a book about animals. They opened the book and looked at the pages with ducks. Lily saw many kinds of ducks, with different shapes, sizes, and colors. She saw how they had webbed feet, tails, and feathers. She learned their names, like mallard, wood duck, and pintail. + +She said, "Wow, mom, ducks are so beautiful and interesting. I want to draw them again, but better." + +Her mom said, "That's great, Lily. You can always improve your drawing by looking at real things and learning more about them. And you can always ask me or someone else for help if you need it. I'm proud of you for being eager to learn and improve." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I have a cookie?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Of course, you can. And then we can go to the park and see some real ducks. How does that sound?" + +Lily said, "That sounds awesome. I love you, mom." + +They ate some cookies and then went to the park, where they saw some ducks swimming and quacking. Lily took her crayons and papers, and drew some new ducks, with more details and colors. She was happy and proud of her drawings, and she showed them to her mom and the ducks. They all liked them very much. + +The end. +Lily liked music. She liked to sing and dance and clap her hands. She had a furry toy bear that played music when she pressed its belly. She called it Music Bear. + +One day, Lily and Music Bear went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. Lily wanted to play with everything. She put Music Bear on a bench and ran to the slide. + +"Be careful, Lily," Mommy said. "Don't forget your Music Bear." + +Lily slid down the slide and laughed. She saw a boy with a ball and wanted to play with him. She ran to the boy and asked, "Can I play with you?" + +The boy nodded and threw the ball to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. They played catch for a while. Lily forgot about Music Bear. + +Meanwhile, a dog saw Music Bear on the bench. The dog liked furry things. He sniffed Music Bear and thought he smelled good. He grabbed Music Bear with his mouth and ran away. + +Lily heard a squeak. She turned and saw the dog with Music Bear. She gasped and ran after the dog. + +"Hey, that's my Music Bear!" she shouted. "Give him back!" + +The dog did not listen. He ran faster and faster. Lily could not catch him. She felt sad and scared. She wanted her Music Bear back. + +Mommy saw Lily and the dog. She ran to help Lily. She called the dog and said, "Drop it, drop it!" + +The dog heard Mommy and dropped Music Bear. He wagged his tail and licked Mommy's hand. He did not mean to be bad. He just liked furry things. + +Mommy picked up Music Bear and gave him to Lily. Lily hugged Music Bear and checked his belly. She pressed it and heard music. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, doggy." + +Mommy smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. But next time, don't leave your Music Bear alone. He might change his mind and go with someone else." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Music Bear. I won't leave you again. You're my best friend." + +She kissed Music Bear and pressed his belly again. They listened to the music and danced and clapped their hands. The dog watched them and barked. He liked music too. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys and cars. But they are very different. Tom is organized. He puts his toys in boxes and his clothes in drawers. Sam is not organized. He leaves his toys everywhere and his clothes on the floor. + +One day, Mom tells them to wrap a gift for Dad. It is his birthday. She gives them a suit and some paper. Tom and Sam go to their room. Tom says, "Let's wrap the suit nicely. Dad will be happy." Sam says, "I don't care. I want to play." He throws the suit on the bed and runs to his toys. + +Tom is sad. He tries to wrap the suit by himself. But it is hard. He needs help. He calls Sam, but Sam does not listen. He is busy with his toys. Tom works hard. He cuts the paper, folds it, and tapes it. He makes a bow and a card. He writes, "Happy birthday, Dad. I love you. From Tom." + +He puts the gift on the table. He looks for Sam. He sees him on the floor. His toys are everywhere. He is bored. He says, "Tom, can I play with you?" Tom says, "No, Sam. You did not help me. You were not nice. You were not organized. You made a mess. You have to clean up." + +Sam is sad. He realizes he was wrong. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are right. I should have helped you. You did a good job. The suit looks nice. Can I say sorry to Dad?" Tom says, "Yes, Sam. You can say sorry to Dad. But first, you have to clean up. Then, we can play together." + +Sam nods. He starts to pick up his toys and his clothes. He puts them in boxes and drawers. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I will be more organized. I will be more helpful. I will be more nice." Tom smiles. He says, "You're welcome, Sam. You are a good brother, too. I'm proud of you. I love you." They hug. + +Mom and Dad come home. They see the gift and the boys. They are happy. They say, "Wow, what a beautiful gift. And what a clean room. And what a lovely card. You are amazing, boys. We are proud of you. We love you." They hug and kiss them. They open the gift. Dad says, "Thank you, boys. This is a wonderful suit. I will wear it tomorrow. You are very thoughtful." He hugs and kisses them again. + +The boys are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be organized, helpful, and nice. They learned to work together and to love each other. They learned to make their parents happy. They learned to be good sons and good brothers. They had a good day. +Mia and Ben are playing with paper dolls. They cut out dresses and hats and shoes for their dolls. Mia likes pink and Ben likes blue. They have fun making their dolls look pretty. + +But then, Ben sees a paper doll that Mia has. It is a princess with a long dress and a crown. Ben wants the princess doll. He says, "Give me that doll. It is mine." + +Mia says, "No, it is not. It is mine. I made it. You have your own dolls." + +Ben gets angry. He grabs the princess doll from Mia. Mia tries to hold on to it. They pull and pull. The princess doll tears in half. Mia and Ben both cry. + +Mom hears them crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the torn doll and the sad children. She says, "What happened here? Why did you tear the doll?" + +Mia and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "That was not nice, Ben. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not tear things that are not yours. You made Mia very sad. You need to say sorry to her." + +Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was wrong. I should not have taken your doll. Can we be friends again?" + +Mia says, "I'm sorry, too. I should have shared with you. Can we fix the doll?" + +Mom says, "Yes, we can. I have some tape and glue. We can put the doll back together. And then, you can play nicely with each other. Do you want to do that?" + +Mia and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom helps them fix the doll. She rubs the tape and glue on the doll. She makes the doll look whole again. She gives the doll to Mia and Ben. They hug the doll and each other. They say, "We love you, doll. We love you, Mom. We love you, Ben. We love you, Mia." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too. Now, let's have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after playing so hard." + +Mia and Ben say, "Yes, please. We are hungry. And we are happy." + +They follow Mom to the kitchen. They leave the paper dolls on the table. They are not uncomfortable anymore. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a snowman and a snow fort. They throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Lily sees a person on the ice. The person is cold and scared. The ice is thin and can break. Lily says to Tom, "We have to save the person! Come on!" + +They run to the ice. They see a rope near a tree. They take the rope and throw it to the person. The person grabs the rope. Lily and Tom pull the rope. They pull hard and fast. They pull the person out of the ice. + +The person is happy and thankful. The person says, "You are very brave and kind. You saved me. Thank you so much!" + +Lily and Tom smile and hug the person. They say, "You are welcome. We are glad you are safe." + +They go back to their snow fort. They drink hot chocolate and eat cookies. They are warm and cozy. They are friends. +Sara likes to design things. She has many crayons and papers. She draws houses, flowers, stars and animals. She likes to make them look pretty and colorful. + +One day, she sees a spider on the wall. The spider is small and black. It has eight legs and many eyes. Sara is not afraid of the spider. She thinks it is amazing. + +She wants to design something for the spider. She gets a paper and a crayon. She draws a big web with many lines and circles. She makes it shiny and sparkly. She thinks the spider will like it. + +She shows the paper to the spider. She says, "Hello, spider. I made this for you. It is a web. You can live in it and catch bugs. Do you like it?" + +The spider looks at the paper. It nods its head. It crawls on the paper and spins a silk thread. It makes a small web on the corner of the paper. It says, "Thank you, Sara. I like your web. It is amazing. You are a good designer." + +Sara smiles. She is happy. She says, "You are welcome, spider. I am glad you like it. You are a good spider. You are amazing too." +Lily and Ben like to play freeze. They run and jump and laugh. Then one of them says "freeze!" and they stop. They do not move or talk. They look like pictures in a frame. + +One day, they play freeze in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. They run to the slide. Lily goes first. She slides down fast. She says "wee!" Ben goes after her. He slides down too. He says "yay!" + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and black. It barks and runs to them. Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like the dog. They do not know what to do. They remember their game. They say "freeze!" They do not move or talk. They look like pictures in a frame. + +The dog comes closer. It sniffs them. It does not know they are playing. It thinks they are strange. It tilts its head. It barks again. It does not like them. It wants to go away. + +Lily and Ben stay still. They do not move or talk. They hope the dog will leave. They wait for a long time. They are cold and tired. They want to play again. They want to go home. + +Then, they see a man. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. He says "come here, boy!" The dog hears him. It runs to him. It wags its tail. It is happy. + +Lily and Ben see the dog go. They are happy too. They say "yay!" They move and talk. They hug each other. They are not scared anymore. They finish their game. They go home. They tell their mom and dad. They say "we played freeze. It was fun. But we saw a big dog. It was not fun. We froze for a long time. We were brave." Their mom and dad say "we are proud of you. You are brave. You are smart. You are good at freeze." Lily and Ben smile. They say "thank you. We love you. We love freeze." +Tom and Lily were playing with crayons and paper. They liked to draw animals and houses and flowers. Tom wanted to draw a big lion with a long mane. He used a yellow crayon for the body and a brown crayon for the mane. He was very proud of his lion. + +"Look, Lily, I made a lion!" he said, showing her his paper. + +Lily looked at his lion and smiled. She liked his lion, but she wanted to make it more colorful. She took a red crayon and started to rub it over the lion's mane. + +"What are you doing?" Tom asked, surprised. + +"I'm making your lion more pretty," Lily said. "Red is a nice color." + +Tom did not like what Lily was doing. He liked his lion the way it was. He did not want a red mane. He grabbed his paper from Lily and tried to erase the red crayon with his hand. But the red crayon did not come off. It only made a big smudge on his lion. + +"Stop it, Lily, you ruined my lion!" Tom cried, angry and sad. + +Lily did not understand why Tom was so upset. She thought she was helping him. She did not mean to ruin his lion. She felt embarrassed and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't know you didn't like red," she said, softly. + +Tom looked at his lion and saw that it was not so bad. He saw that Lily was trying to be nice. He felt sorry for being angry at her. + +"It's okay, Lily, I'm sorry for yelling at you," he said, kindly. + +He gave her a hug and they made up. They decided to draw a new lion together, with a rainbow mane. They had fun and laughed. They were friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the pond. They liked to sail them and watch them go fast. Lily had a red boat and Tom had a blue boat. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Tom said to Lily. + +"No, it's not! My boat is faster and prettier!" Lily said back. + +They raced their boats across the pond, but then they saw a big duck. The duck was ugly and mean. It had a long neck and a big beak. It saw the boats and wanted to bite them. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" The duck said. It swam towards the boats and tried to catch them. + +"Oh no, the duck is going to eat our boats!" Lily cried. + +"What can we do?" Tom asked. + +Lily had an idea. She saw some bread on the bench. She ran to get it and threw it to the other side of the pond. + +"Hey, duck, look! There is some bread for you!" Lily shouted. + +The duck heard Lily and saw the bread. It forgot about the boats and swam to get the bread. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" The duck said happily. It ate the bread and left the boats alone. + +Lily and Tom were glad. They got their boats back and sailed them again. + +"Good idea, Lily! You saved our boats!" Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom! You are a good friend!" Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They had fun playing with their boats and the pond. +Lily was sad. It was her birthday, but she had no friends to play with. Her mom and dad were busy with work. They gave her a gift, but it was a book. Lily did not like books. She wanted a doll or a ball. + +She went to her room and threw the book on the floor. She cried and cried. She felt lonely and angry. + +Then she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her tears and opened it. It was Ben, the boy next door. He had a big smile and a gift in his hands. + +"Hi, Lily. Happy birthday. I have something for you." He said. + +Lily looked at him. She did not know him very well. He was older and bigger than her. He sometimes played with other kids in the park. He seemed nice, but she was shy. + +"What is it?" She asked. + +Ben gave her the gift. It was a box wrapped in colorful paper. Lily took it and opened it. Inside was a toy car. It was red and shiny. It had wheels that could turn and a button that made sounds. + +Lily gasped. She loved cars. She always wanted one. She looked at Ben with wide eyes. + +"Wow. Thank you, Ben. This is the best gift ever." She said. + +Ben smiled. He was glad that Lily liked his gift. He had saved his money to buy it for her. He knew that she had no friends and that her parents were harsh. He wanted to make her happy. + +"You're welcome, Lily. Do you want to play with me? We can race the cars and make noises." He said. + +Lily nodded. She felt a warm feeling in her chest. She had a friend. She had a car. She was happy. + +She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the living room. They played with the cars and made noises. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the book and the work and the harshness. They had a birthday party. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. But today, the park is closed. There is a lot of smoke in the air. It is hard to breathe. + +"Where is the smoke from?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe there is a big fire somewhere. We should go home," Tom says. + +They walk to their homes. They see some people wearing masks on their faces. The masks have tubes that go to a bag. The bag has oxygen inside. Oxygen is what we need to breathe. + +"Why are they wearing masks?" Lily asks Tom. + +"They are wearing masks because the air is bad. The masks help them breathe oxygen. Oxygen is good for us," Tom says. + +They reach their homes. Their moms are waiting for them. They hug them and take them inside. + +"Are you okay, my sweeties?" their moms ask. + +"Yes, mom. But we are sad. We can't play in the park. And we can't breathe well. The air is smoky and makes us cough," Tom and Lily say. + +Their moms nod. They look worried. They say, "I know, my loves. The air is very bad today. There is a big fire in the forest. It is far away, but the wind brings the smoke here. We have to stay inside until the air is clear. We have to be careful. The smoke can make us sick and weak. Weak means not strong." + +Tom and Lily nod. They understand. They are scared of the fire and the smoke. They hope the fire will stop soon. They hope the air will be clear again. They hope they can play in the park again. They hug their moms and say, "We love you, mom. Thank you for keeping us safe." +One day, a little girl named Lily saw a white dove in her garden. She ran to catch it, but the dove flew away. Lily followed the dove to a big tree, where it landed on a branch. + +"Hello, dove," Lily said. "You are so pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dove looked at Lily and cooed softly. It liked the girl, but it did not want to leave its home. + +"I am sorry, Lily," the dove said. "But I belong to the tree. This is where I live with my family. We have a nest and many seeds to eat. I cannot go with you." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted the dove to come with her. She thought of her own home, where she had a smelly dog and a noisy brother. She did not like them very much. + +"Please, dove," Lily begged. "My home is not nice. My dog is smelly and my brother is mean. You can have my toys and my bed. I will take care of you." + +The dove shook its head. It knew that Lily was lonely, but it also knew that it would not be happy in her home. It was not its place. + +"No, Lily," the dove said. "You cannot take me away from the tree. It is where I belong. But you can visit me anytime you want. We can be friends, but we have to respect each other's homes." + +Lily thought about what the dove said. She realized that it was right. She could not make the dove leave its home, just like she could not leave hers. She smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, dove," Lily said. "I understand. You belong to the tree, and I belong to my home. But we can still be friends. Can I come and see you tomorrow?" + +The dove nodded and flapped its wings. It was glad that Lily understood. It flew down and landed on her shoulder. It gave her a gentle peck on the cheek. + +"Of course, Lily," the dove said. "You are always welcome. I will be waiting for you." + +Lily hugged the dove and thanked it. She ran back to her home, feeling happier than before. She decided to give her dog a bath and play with her brother. She knew that they belonged to her, and she belonged to them. And she also had a new friend, who belonged to the tree. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and puzzles. But sometimes they want different things. Then they get angry and fight. + +One day, Lily wants to play with the doll and Ben wants to play with the car. They both pull the toy and shout. "Mine! Mine!" They do not share. Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. + +"Stop fighting, Lily and Ben!" Mom says. "You have to share your toys. Or you can separate them and play with different things. But you cannot hurt each other. That is not nice." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. They do not want to make Mom sad. They let go of the toy and say sorry. Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben!" Mom says. "You are healthy and smart and kind. You can play together or apart. But you have to respect each other. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They look at their toys and books and puzzles. They see many things they can do. They decide to play with the blocks. They build a big tower that reaches the ceiling. They are happy and proud. They show Mom their tower. Mom claps and cheers. They all laugh and have fun. +Bella and Max were playing with their new ball in the park. They liked to bounce it high and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it to each other and said, "Catch!" + +But the ball was very noisy. It made a loud sound every time it hit the ground. Some people in the park did not like the noise. They looked at Bella and Max with angry faces. + +One of them was a man with a big dog. He walked over to Bella and Max and said, "Stop bouncing that ball! You are making too much noise! You are disturbing my dog!" + +Bella and Max were scared of the man and his dog. They did not want to make them angry. They said, "Sorry, sir. We will stop bouncing the ball." + +But the man was not happy. He said, "Give me that ball! It is mine now! You have to learn to follow the order!" + +He grabbed the ball from Bella's hand and threw it away. The ball flew far and landed in a pond. Bella and Max were sad. They had lost their new ball. + +But then something happened. The man's dog saw the ball in the pond. He liked balls. He ran after the ball and jumped into the water. He splashed and swam and got the ball in his mouth. He was very happy. + +But the man was not happy. He did not like water. He did not like his dog getting wet. He shouted, "Come back here, you stupid dog! You are making a mess! You are ruining my order!" + +He ran after his dog and tried to get him out of the pond. But the dog did not want to leave. He wanted to play with the ball. He bounced it in the water and made more noise. + +Bella and Max watched the man and his dog. They felt sorry for them. But they also felt a little happy. They had learned a lesson. Sometimes, bouncing a ball can be fun. And sometimes, order can be boring. +Lily and Ben are playing in the sand. They have a spade and a bucket. They want to make a big castle. + +"Look, Lily, I dig a hole for the door," Ben says. He uses the spade to scoop the sand. + +"Good, Ben, I make a tower with the bucket," Lily says. She fills the bucket with sand and flips it over. + +They work hard and soon they have a nice castle. They are happy. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is running towards them. He looks friendly, but he is clumsy. He steps on the sand and makes it fly. + +"Oh no, the dog will ruin our castle!" Lily cries. + +"Quick, hide!" Ben says. He grabs Lily's hand and they run behind a bush. + +The dog reaches the castle and sniffs it. He likes the sand. He digs with his paws and makes a mess. He barks and wags his tail. + +Lily and Ben peek from the bush. They are sad and angry. + +"Bad dog, go away!" Ben shouts. + +The dog hears Ben and looks at him. He thinks Ben wants to play. He runs towards the bush. + +Lily and Ben scream and run away. They leave the spade and the bucket behind. + +The dog chases them, but he is too slow. He stops and goes back to the castle. He plays with the spade and the bucket. He is happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. Ben had a red car that could drive very fast. Lily had a blue car that had a big anchor on the back. Ben liked to zoom his car around the grass and make loud noises. Lily liked to pretend her car was a boat and drag the anchor behind her. + +"Look at my car, Lily! It's so fast and cool!" Ben said, driving his car near Lily's. + +"I like my car, Ben. It's so pretty and fun!" Lily said, driving her car away from Ben's. + +Ben wanted to play with Lily's car. He thought the anchor was interesting and shiny. He was envious of Lily's car. He drove his car closer to Lily's and tried to grab the anchor. + +"Hey, stop that, Ben! That's my car!" Lily said, pulling her car back. + +"No, I want to play with it! It's better than my car!" Ben said, pulling harder. + +They both pulled and pulled until the anchor broke off the car. Lily started to cry. Ben felt bad. He had broken Lily's car. He didn't want to make her cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your car. I just liked your anchor. Can we share?" Ben said, giving Lily the anchor. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben and the anchor. She liked Ben. He was her friend. She didn't want to be mad at him. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I yelled at you. We can share. Do you want to play boats with me?" Lily said, giving Ben a hug. + +"Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend." Ben said, smiling. + +They both took their cars and the anchor and played boats together. They had fun and forgot about the broken car. They were happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lot of mist in the air. It is hot and wet. + +"Look, Ben, mist!" Mia says. "It is like a big cloud on the ground." + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asks. He runs to the mist and puts his hand in it. "It is cold and wet, too!" + +Mia follows him. They laugh and run in the mist. They pretend they are in a fairy land. They see flowers and trees and birds. + +"Ben, look, a butterfly!" Mia says. She points to a yellow and black butterfly on a flower. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He likes butterflies. He tries to catch it, but it flies away. He chases it, but it is too fast. + +"Mia, help me catch it!" Ben says. + +Mia runs after him. They follow the butterfly to a big tree. The butterfly lands on a branch. Ben and Mia stop and look at it. + +"It is so high!" Ben says. "How can we get it?" + +Mia thinks. She sees a ladder leaning on the tree. She has an idea. + +"Ben, I have an idea!" Mia says. "We can use the ladder!" + +Ben smiles. He likes Mia's idea. He helps her move the ladder to the tree. They climb the ladder carefully. They get closer to the butterfly. + +"Be quiet, Ben!" Mia says. "We don't want to scare it!" + +Ben nods. He is quiet. He reaches for the butterfly. He almost touches it, but it flies away again. + +"Oh, no!" Ben says. "It is gone!" + +Mia sighs. She is sad. She wanted to see the butterfly. + +"Ben, I'm sorry," Mia says. "We tried." + +Ben looks at Mia. He sees her sad face. He feels sorry, too. He wants to make her happy. + +"It's okay, Mia," Ben says. "We had fun, right?" + +Mia nods. She smiles a little. She likes Ben. He is a good friend. + +Ben smiles, too. He likes Mia. She is a good friend, too. He leans over and kisses her on the cheek. + +Mia feels Ben's kiss. She blushes. She feels happy. She kisses him back on the cheek. + +They hug and giggle. They forget about the butterfly. They are happy in the mist. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they go to the gym with Mom. The gym is a big room with many things to do. There are balls, mats, ropes, hoops and more. + +Anna and Ben run to the balls. They want to throw and catch them. But the gym is very noisy. There are many other kids and they all make loud sounds. They shout, laugh, cry and clap. Anna and Ben do not like the noise. They cover their ears. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Anna asks. "The gym is too noisy. It hurts my ears." + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. "I know, sweetie. The gym is noisy. But it is also fun. You can play with the balls and make new friends. Maybe the noise will not bother you so much if you try." + +Ben nods and takes Anna's hand. "Come on, Anna. Let's play. Look, there is a big red ball. It looks soft and bouncy. Let's throw it to each other." + +Anna looks at the ball. It does look soft and bouncy. She likes red. She decides to try. She takes the ball from Ben and throws it to him. He catches it and throws it back. They smile and giggle. The noise does not hurt their ears anymore. They have fun at the gym. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big red ball. They want to catch the ball. + +"Let's catch the ball!" Ben says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They run to the ball. But the ball is not a ball. It is a balloon. A hot balloon. It has fire inside. The fire makes the balloon fly. The balloon is very hot. + +Ben and Mia do not know. They touch the balloon. The balloon pops. The fire comes out. The fire burns Ben and Mia. They scream. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Mia say. + +But no one hears their voice. No one comes to help them. They are alone. They are hurt. They are sad. + +The end. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the garden. They grow squash and other things. They are helpful to their mom and dad. + +One day, they see a big squash on the vine. It is yellow and round. They are happy. They want to pick it and eat it. They ask their mom and dad if they can. + +"Yes, you can," mom says. "But be careful. The squash is heavy. You need to work together." + +Tom and Sue nod. They go to the garden. They try to lift the squash. It is too heavy for one. They try to lift it together. It is still hard, but they can do it. + +They carry the squash to the kitchen. They are proud. They show their mom and dad. Mom and dad smile. They say, "Well done, Tom and Sue. You are helpful and strong. You worked together. We are proud of you." + +Mom and dad cut the squash.

He likes to race with his car. He says, "OK, Sara. What is the prize?" + +Sara smiles and says, "You will see. It is a surprise." + +They go to Tom and Lily's house and ask them to play. Tom and Lily agree. They all go to the park and find a long path. Sara says, "This is the track. We start here and finish there. The first one to cross the line wins the prize." + +They all line up their cars and get ready. Sara says, "On your mark, get set, go!" They all push their cars and run after them. The cars zoom and vroom on the path. Ben's car is very fast. He is ahead of the others. He thinks he will win the prize. + +But Sara has a trick. She has a smelly cheese in her pocket. She takes it out and throws it in front of Ben's car. The cheese lands on the path and makes Ben's car stop. Ben says, "Ew, what is that? It smells bad!" + +Sara laughs and says, "That is the prize, Ben. A smelly cheese. I told you it was a surprise." + +She pushes her car past Ben's car and crosses the line. She says, "I win, I win!" + +Tom and Lily catch up and see the cheese. They say, "Yuck, Sara. That is a mean trick. You cheated." + +Sara says, "No, I did not cheat. I was smart. And I win the prize." + +She picks up the cheese and holds it in the air. She says, "Who wants some smelly cheese?" + +No one wants some smelly cheese. They all turn away and make faces. Sara says, "Fine, more for me." + +She takes a bite of the cheese and makes a face too. She says, "Blech, this cheese is too smelly. I don't like it." + +She throws the cheese away and says, "Sorry, Ben. That was a bad prize. Do you want to play again?" + +Ben says, "OK, Sara. But no more tricks. And no more cheese." + +They all agree and play again. They have fun with their cars and dolls. They are friends. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big red truck. He liked to drive it around the house and make loud noises. He also liked to share it with his friends when they came over. + +One day, it was Tom's birthday. He was very happy and excited. He woke up early and ran to the living room. He saw a big pile of presents on the table. He wanted to open them all, but his mom stopped him. + +"Wait, Tom," she said. "You have to eat your breakfast first. And then you have to get dressed. And then you have to wait for your guests. They will come soon and bring you more presents." + +Tom nodded. He knew his mom was right. He ate his breakfast and put on his clothes. He looked at the presents and wondered what was inside. He hoped there was something he would like. + +Soon, the doorbell rang. Tom ran to the door and opened it. He saw his friends standing outside. They all had big smiles and bags in their hands. They wished him a happy birthday and gave him their presents. Tom thanked them and invited them in. + +They all went to the living room and sat on the floor. Tom started to open his presents. He was very happy with what he got. He got a book, a puzzle, a ball, a hat, and a teddy bear. He hugged each one and said thank you. + +But there was one present he had not opened yet. It was the biggest one. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a big bow on top. It was from his dad, who was at work. Tom wondered what it was. He saved it for last. + +He tore off the paper and opened the box. He gasped. Inside was a huge dinosaur. It was green and scaly and had sharp teeth and claws. It looked very real and scary. Tom was frightened. He dropped the box and backed away. + +"Wow, Tom, what a cool dinosaur!" his friend Sam said. "Can I see it?" + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to see it. He did not like it. He wanted his truck. + +"Tom, don't be afraid," his mom said. "It's just a toy. It won't hurt you. Your dad got it for you because he knows you like dinosaurs. He wanted to surprise you. He will call you later and tell you more about it." + +Tom looked at his mom. He looked at the dinosaur. He looked at his friends. They all seemed to like the dinosaur. They did not seem to be afraid. Maybe it was not so bad. Maybe it was just a toy. + +He decided to give it a try. He walked slowly to the box and picked up the dinosaur. He felt its skin and teeth and claws. They were not real. They were plastic. He pressed a button on its back and it made a roar. He was not frightened anymore. He was amused. + +He smiled and held the dinosaur. He showed it to his friends. They all wanted to play with it. They took turns making it roar and move. They pretended it was a real dinosaur and they were explorers. They had a lot of fun. + +Tom was happy. He liked his dinosaur. He liked his presents. He liked his friends. He liked his birthday. He thanked his mom and dad for everything. He hugged his dinosaur and his truck. He was reminded of how much he was loved. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room with their toys. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Ben saw a shiny red car on the shelf. He wanted to play with it very much. He got up and tried to reach for it. + +"Stop!" Lily shouted. "That is my car! You can't have it!" + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the car and ran away. Lily was very angry. She chased after him and tried to get the car back. + +They ran around the house, bumping into things and making a mess. They did not see their mom coming in from the door. She had been shopping and had some amazing things for them. But when she saw the chaos, she was not happy. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry for making her upset. They dropped the car and hugged each other. + +"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We were just playing." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She showed them the amazing things she had bought for them. There were some books, some stickers, and some new toys. Ben and Lily were very happy. They thanked their mom and shared their things. They learned to play nicely and not to grab. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big steak on a table. It smells good. + +"Let's hop to the steak and eat it," Lily says. + +"No, that is not ours. It is for someone else," Ben says. + +But Lily does not listen. She hops to the table and takes a bite of the steak. Ben follows her and tries to stop her. + +"Stop, Lily, stop! You are being bad!" Ben says. + +But Lily does not stop. She eats more and more of the steak. Then, she sees a man coming. He looks angry. He is the owner of the steak. + +"Hey, you little rabbits! That is my steak! Give it back!" the man says. + +He runs to the table and grabs the steak. He tries to catch Lily and Ben. They are scared. They hop away as fast as they can. + +They hide behind a bush. They are safe. But they are also sad. They know they did something wrong. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was greedy. I should have listened to you," Lily says. + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I should have helped you more. We should not have taken the steak," Ben says. + +They hug each other. They are still friends. They decide to be good from now on. They hope the man will forgive them. They hope they will find something else to eat. Something that is clear and clean and theirs. Like a carrot. +Tim and Lily liked to play in the big park near their home. There were many trees and flowers and birds in the park. But their favorite tree was the old oak. It was very big and tall and had many branches and leaves. They liked to climb on the oak and pretend they were pirates or fairies or explorers. + +One day, they saw a man with a big saw near the oak. He was wearing a yellow hat and a orange vest. He looked angry and mean. He said to another man, "This oak is too old and sick. We have to cut it down and make room for a new road. It will be gone by tomorrow." + +Tim and Lily were very sad and scared. They loved the oak and did not want it to be gone. They ran to the oak and hugged it. They said, "Please, mister, don't cut down our oak. It is our friend and our playground. It is very strong and beautiful. It has been here for a long time. It is ancient and wise. Please, let it stay." + +The man with the saw laughed and said, "You kids are silly. This oak is useless and ugly. It has no value and no future. It is old and weak. It has to go. Now, get out of the way, or I will call the police." + +Tim and Lily did not move. They held on to the oak and cried. They hoped that someone would help them and save the oak. They did not know what to do. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big bear coming out of the woods. The bear was brown and furry and had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and hungry. It saw the man with the saw and the other man. It ran towards them and growled. + +The men were very scared. They dropped the saw and ran away. They shouted, "Help! Help! There is a bear in the park! It is going to eat us!" + +Tim and Lily were surprised and happy. They thanked the bear and said, "You are our hero, bear. You saved our oak and us. You are very brave and kind. We are your friends." + +The bear nodded and smiled. It said, "You are welcome, kids. I like your oak, too. It is my home and my shelter. It is very old and wise. It has many stories and secrets. It is ancient and precious. It deserves to stay." + +The bear climbed on the oak and lay down on a branch. It closed its eyes and snored. Tim and Lily climbed on the oak and sat next to the bear. They felt safe and happy. They said, "We love our oak and our bear. They are our family and our treasure. They are very strong and beautiful. They have gained our respect and our love. They are ancient and wonderful. They will stay with us forever." +Sara and Ben went to the big water with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the dolphins. They liked the dolphins. They were gray and smooth and fast. They jumped out of the water and made funny sounds. + +Mom and Dad gave Sara and Ben a ruler. They said they could measure the dolphins. They said the dolphins were very big. Sara and Ben were excited. They wanted to measure the dolphins. + +They saw a dolphin near the boat. It was thin and had a scar on its tail. Sara and Ben felt sorry for the dolphin. They wondered what happened to it. They tried to measure it with the ruler. But the dolphin was too far away. They could not reach it. + +"Come here, dolphin!" Sara called. "We want to measure you!" + +But the dolphin did not come. It swam away. Sara and Ben were sad. They wanted to measure the dolphin. They wanted to help it. + +They saw another dolphin. It was fat and shiny and happy. It came close to the boat. It let Sara and Ben touch it. They measured it with the ruler. It was very big. Sara and Ben were happy. They liked the dolphin. + +"Thank you, dolphin!" Ben said. "You are very nice!" + +The dolphin smiled and nodded. It splashed Sara and Ben with water. They laughed and clapped. They had fun with the dolphin. +Lily loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Velvet. Velvet had soft brown hair and a pink dress. Lily liked to brush her hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily's big brother Tom came into her room. He saw Velvet on the bed and picked her up. "What a silly doll," he said. "She looks old and dirty. I'm going to throw her away." + +Lily was very angry. She ran to Tom and tried to grab Velvet. "No, no, no!" she shouted. "Give me back my doll! She is mine!" + +Tom laughed and held Velvet high. "No, no, no!" he mocked. "You can't have her. She is mine now!" + +Lily started to cry. She wanted her doll back. She stamped her foot and demanded, "Give me back my doll right now, or I will tell Mom!" + +Tom did not like that. He did not want Mom to be mad at him. He looked at Velvet and had an idea. He said, "Okay, okay, I will give you back your doll. But first, you have to do something for me." + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Tom. She asked, "What do you want me to do?" + +Tom smiled and said, "You have to eat this." He showed her a red pepper. It was spicy and hot. Tom liked to eat spicy food, but Lily did not. She hated spicy food. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to eat that. It is spicy and bad. It will hurt my mouth." + +Tom said, "Too bad. You have to eat it, or you can't have your doll. It's a deal." + +Lily looked at the pepper and then at Velvet. She loved her doll very much. She did not want to lose her. She decided to try the pepper. She took a small bite and put it in her mouth. + +As soon as she did, she felt a fire in her mouth. It was spicy and bad. It hurt her tongue and her throat. She spit out the pepper and screamed, "Aaaah! Aaaah! Aaaah!" + +Tom laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha! You ate the pepper! You are so funny!" + +Lily was not funny. She was sad and mad. She ran to Tom and snatched Velvet from his hand. She hugged her doll and said, "You are mean! You are bad! You tricked me! I hate you!" + +Tom said, "Oh, come on. It was just a joke. Don't be a baby." + +Lily did not listen to him. She ran out of the room with Velvet. She went to Mom and told her what Tom did. Mom was not happy. She scolded Tom and made him say sorry to Lily. She also gave Lily a glass of milk to cool her mouth. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry Tom was mean to you. He should not have taken your doll or made you eat the pepper. You are a brave girl. I'm proud of you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love Velvet. She is my best friend." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love Velvet too. She is a beautiful doll." She kissed Lily and Velvet and tucked them in bed. She said, "Good night, sweetie. Have sweet dreams." + +Lily said, "Good night, Mom. Good night, Velvet." She cuddled with her doll and closed her eyes. She was happy. She had her doll back. She had her mom. She did not care about Tom or the pepper. She fell asleep and dreamed of pink dresses and soft hair. +Sara loved to play with her crystal. It was shiny and pretty and made rainbows on the wall. She got it from her grandma, who said it was very special. Sara always kept it in her room, on her dresser, where she could see it every day. + +One day, Sara's mom said they had to go to the store. Sara wanted to bring her crystal, but mom said no. She said it was too fragile and might break. She told Sara to stay in her room and wait for her to come back. Sara was sad, but she did what mom said. + +While Sara was in her room, a big storm came. It was loud and scary and made the lights go out. Sara heard a crash from the living room. She was worried and curious. She wanted to see what happened. She forgot what mom said and left her room. + +She walked down the hall and saw a big mess. A tree had fallen on the roof and smashed the window. Glass and water and leaves were everywhere. Sara was scared and looked for mom. She saw her crystal on the floor, near the window. It was broken in pieces. Sara cried and ran to pick it up. + +She heard mom's voice from the door. Mom had come back from the store. She saw Sara and the broken crystal and hugged her. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. She said they would find a new crystal for her. Sara was still sad, but she felt a little better. She wished she had stayed in her room. +Jill and Ben were twins. They liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to pretend they were on vacation. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They put on sunglasses and hats. They said goodbye to Mom and Dad. + +"Have fun on your vacation!" Mom said. + +"Thank you!" Jill and Ben said. + +They went to the backyard. They pretended it was a beach. They spread a blanket on the grass. They played with sand and water. They made a sandcastle. They ate snacks. They had a lot of fun. + +Then, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. He looked friendly. He came to their blanket. He sniffed their snacks. He wagged his tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Jill said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barked. He licked Jill's face. He rolled on the blanket. + +"Hey, dog!" Ben said. "That's our blanket! That's our vacation!" + +The dog barked again. He grabbed Ben's hat. He ran away with it. + +"Come back, dog!" Ben shouted. "That's my hat! That's my fake vacation!" + +Jill and Ben chased the dog. They ran across the yard. They ran into the street. They ran into trouble. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big ladder leaning against the wall of their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the roof. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben said. + +"No, it's not safe. Mom and Dad said we should not touch the ladder. It's for the man who will fix the roof." Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the ladder and started to climb. Lily followed him, afraid that he would fall. They reached the top of the ladder and saw a lot of things on the roof. There were tiles, tools, nails, and a basket of apples. + +"Wow, look at all this!" Ben said. He grabbed an apple and bit into it. "Mmm, this is delicious!" + +Lily also took an apple and tasted it. She liked it too. But then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing up there? Those are my apples! Get down from the ladder right now!" It was the man who was fixing the roof. He was angry and scared. + +Ben and Lily dropped their apples and hurried down the ladder. They were sorry and ashamed. They had taken something that was not theirs and disobeyed their parents. + +The man came down the ladder and looked at them. He saw that they were crying and felt sorry for them too. + +"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to take your apples. We were just curious and hungry." Ben said. + +"We're sorry, we shouldn't have climbed the ladder. We know it's dangerous and wrong." Lily said. + +The man nodded and smiled. He said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will never do that again. And you have to restore what you took. You have to give me back my apples or something else that is fair." + +Ben and Lily nodded and agreed. They ran to their house and brought back some cookies that their mom had baked. They gave them to the man and said, "Here, these are for you. They are delicious too. We hope you like them." + +The man thanked them and accepted the cookies. He said, "You are very kind and honest. You have restored what you took and made me happy. I hope you learned your lesson. The ladder is not a toy. It's a tool. And the apples are not yours. They are mine. You have to ask before you take something that belongs to someone else." + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, we learned our lesson. We will never climb the ladder or take anything without asking again. We're sorry for the trouble we caused you." + +The man said, "Don't worry, it's all right. You are good children. Now, go and play in the garden. But be careful and listen to your parents. They love you and want you to be safe and happy." + +Ben and Lily hugged the man and said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice and generous. We love you too." + +They ran back to the garden and played with their toys. They were happy and proud. They had restored what they took and made a new friend. They had learned to be respectful and responsible. They had learned a valuable lesson. +Tom and Amy were jolly friends. They liked to play together in the garden. One day, they found a small table and two chairs under a big tree. They decided to have a tea party. + +"Would you like some tea, Amy?" Tom asked, holding a toy cup. + +"Yes, please, Tom. And some cake, too," Amy said, smiling. + +They pretended to pour tea and eat cake. They talked about their toys, their pets, and their dreams. They had a lot of fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom, calling them. + +"Tom! Amy! It's time to go home! Come on, hurry up!" + +Tom and Amy looked at each other. They did not want to leave their tea party. + +"Can we stay a little longer, mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's getting dark. You have to close your tea party and come inside. Maybe you can play again tomorrow," mom said. + +Tom and Amy sighed. They said goodbye to their tea party. They put their toy cups and plates back in a basket. They carried the basket to the house. + +"Thank you for the tea, Tom. It was very nice," Amy said. + +"Thank you for the cake, Amy. It was very yummy," Tom said. + +They hugged each other. They were still jolly friends. They went inside with their mom. They knew they would play again soon. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they tease each other. On Tuesday, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big slide and run to it. + +"Me first!" Anna says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down fast. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He follows her and slides down too. + +They take turns sliding and laughing. Then Anna has an idea. She waits for Ben to climb up the ladder. When he is at the top, she says, "Boo!" + +Ben is scared. He slips and falls on the slide. He bumps his head and cries. + +"Anna, that was not nice!" Mom says. She runs to Ben and hugs him. "Are you okay, sweetie?" + +Anna feels bad. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She just wanted to tease him. She goes to Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just playing. Are you mad at me?" + +Ben stops crying. He looks at Anna and says, "No, I'm not mad. But don't do that again. It was not fun." + +Anna nods. She says, "Okay, I won't. Do you want to slide some more?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, let's slide some more. But this time, no booing." + +They hug and slide some more. They have fun and forget about the booing. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy that they are friends again. + +Soon, it is time to go home. Anna and Ben are sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. Mom says, "Let's go, kids. It's nap time." + +They hold Mom's hand and walk to the car. They get in and buckle up. Mom drives them home. They fall asleep on the way. They dream of sliding and laughing. They do not tease each other anymore. They are good twins. +Lila was a modest daughter. She liked to help her mom and dad with chores. She did not ask for many toys or treats. She was happy with what she had. + +One day, Lila's mom told her they were going to visit her aunt and uncle. They had a big house and a big yard. They also had a daughter, Mia, who was Lila's age. Lila was excited to play with Mia. + +But when they got there, Lila saw that Mia was not modest at all. She had many toys and treats. She did not share them with Lila. She said they were only for her. She did not include Lila in her games. She said Lila was boring and poor. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She did not want to play with Mia anymore. She wanted to go home. She told her mom how Mia treated her. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry. She said Mia was not being nice or fair. She said Lila was a good and kind daughter. She said she was proud of her. + +Lila smiled and thanked her mom. She said she loved her. She said she did not need many toys or treats. She said she was happy with what she had. She said she hoped Mia would learn to be modest and include others. She said she would rather play with her mom and dad. They agreed and went to the yard. They had fun together. Lila forgot about Mia. She was happy. +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. + +One day, they saw something different. It was round and clear and had long things hanging from it. It looked like a balloon with strings. + +"What is that?" Lila asked. + +"It's a jellyfish," Ben said. He had learned about them in a book. "They can sting you if you touch them. We have to be careful." + +Lila was curious. She wanted to see the jellyfish closer. She walked towards it slowly. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +"Stop!" Ben shouted. "Don't touch it!" + +But it was too late. Lila felt a sharp pain in her finger. She cried out loud. The jellyfish had stung her. + +Mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to her and saw what had happened. They took her out of the water and wrapped her finger in a cloth. They told her to raise her hand up high. That would help the pain go away. + +Lila was scared and hurt. She hugged her mom and dad. Ben felt sorry for her. He hugged her too. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," he said. "I should have told you sooner." + +"It's okay, Ben," Lila said. "You tried to help me. I should have listened to you." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with jellyfish. They also learned to be kind to each other. They still liked the beach, but they stayed away from the hairy balloons with strings. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to go to the zoo and see the animals. One day, they went to the zoo with their moms. They saw lions, monkeys, birds, and more. + +Tom and Sue wanted to see the snakes. They liked the snakes because they were long and shiny. They ran to the snake house and looked at the glass cages. They saw big snakes and small snakes, green snakes and brown snakes, and even a red snake with black spots. + +"Look at that snake!" Tom said. "It is so cool! I want to touch it!" + +"No, Tom!" Sue said. "You can't touch the snake! It is dangerous! It can bite you and make you sick!" + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He was curious and brave. He climbed on a chair and reached for the glass cage. He opened the lid and put his hand inside. + +The red snake with black spots was alert. It saw Tom's hand and felt scared. It hissed and coiled and struck. It bit Tom's finger and made him cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom screamed. "Help! Help! Help!" + +Sue and their moms heard Tom's scream. They ran to the snake house and saw what happened. They were shocked and scared. They called the zoo keeper and the doctor. They took Tom to the hospital. + +Tom was very sorry. He learned his lesson. He should have listened to Sue and his mom. He should not have touched the snake. He should have been careful and respectful of the animals. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends and your parents. They know what is best for you. Do not do things that are dangerous or harmful. Be careful and respectful of the animals. They have feelings and needs too. +Ben and Mia liked to feed the pigeons in the park. They had some bread and seeds in a bag. They walked to the big fountain where many pigeons were. They threw some bread and seeds on the ground and watched the pigeons eat. + +"Look, Mia, that pigeon is so big and fat!" Ben said, pointing to a gray pigeon with a white ring around its neck. "He must eat a lot of bread and seeds." + +"Maybe he is the boss of the pigeons," Mia said, giggling. "He looks very proud and strong." + +They threw some more bread and seeds to the big pigeon, who pecked them quickly. He was not shy of the children. He walked closer to them, hoping for more food. Ben and Mia liked him and wanted to pet him. + +"Can I touch him, Ben?" Mia asked, reaching out her hand. + +"Be careful, Mia, he might bite you," Ben said, but he was curious too. He also moved his hand closer to the big pigeon. + +The big pigeon saw their hands and thought they had more food. He opened his beak and snapped at their fingers. Ben and Mia screamed and pulled back their hands. The big pigeon bit them hard and made them bleed. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben and Mia cried, holding their hands. "He hurt us, he hurt us!" + +The other pigeons heard their cries and flew away. The big pigeon also flew away, but not before he pooped on their heads. Ben and Mia felt something wet and sticky on their hair. They looked up and saw the big pigeon flying away. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Ben and Mia said, feeling disgusted. "He pooped on us, he pooped on us!" + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. She saw their hands and their heads and gasped. + +"Oh, no, what happened to you?" she asked, worried. "Did the pigeon bite you and poop on you?" + +"Yes, mom, he did, he did!" Ben and Mia said, sobbing. "He was a bad pigeon, a bad pigeon!" + +Mom took out some tissues and water from her bag. She wiped their hands and their heads, and put some band-aids on their wounds. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"I'm sorry, my loves, that was a mean pigeon," she said, soothing them. "He was not a nice pigeon, he was a naughty pigeon. He was a restless pigeon, who did not know how to share and be gentle." + +Ben and Mia nodded, still crying. They did not like the pigeons anymore. They wanted to go home and forget about the bad pigeon. They learned a hard lesson that day: not all pigeons are friendly and fun. Some pigeons are mean and rude. And some pigeons poop on your head. +Lily and Sam were playing with their dolls in the living room. Lily had a pink dress for her doll, and Sam had a blue jacket for his. Lily liked to be bossy and tell Sam what to do. She said, "Sam, your jacket is ugly. Give it to me. I want to put it on my doll." + +Sam did not like that. He said, "No, Lily. This is my jacket. You have your own dress. Go away." He tried to hold on to his jacket, but Lily pulled it hard. The zipper broke and the jacket ripped. Lily and Sam both gasped. + +Lily said, "Look what you did, Sam. You broke the zipper. Now the jacket is ruined. You are so clumsy. Mom will be mad at you." She threw the jacket on the floor and ran away. + +Sam felt sad and scared. He liked his jacket. He did not want to make Mom mad. He picked up the jacket and the zipper. He thought, maybe I can repair it. He found some tape and scissors in the kitchen. He tried to stick the zipper back together with the tape. He tried to cut the rip with the scissors. But he did not know how to do it right. He made the jacket worse. He cut a big hole in it. He tore the tape. He dropped the scissors. + +Mom came home and saw the mess. She saw the jacket, the zipper, the tape, and the scissors. She saw Sam crying on the floor. She was very angry. She said, "Sam, what did you do? You ruined your jacket. You played with scissors. You could have hurt yourself. You are in big trouble. Go to your room. No more dolls for you." She took away his doll and his jacket. She did not listen to Sam when he tried to explain. She did not see Lily hiding behind the couch. She did not know that Lily was bossy and started the fight. Sam felt very bad. He wished he had a nicer sister. He wished he had a better jacket. He wished he had a happier ending. +Tom and Lily are playing hide and seek in the living room. Tom is the seeker and Lily is the hider. Lily runs to the couch and covers herself with a big blanket. She thinks Tom will not find her there. + +Tom counts to ten and then opens his eyes. He looks around the room and sees the couch. He sees the blanket moving a little. He smiles and walks to the couch. He says, "I found you, Lily!" + +Lily hears Tom's voice and peeks out from the blanket. She sees Tom's face and says, "No, you didn't! I am hidden under the blanket. You can't see me!" + +Tom laughs and says, "Yes, I can! The blanket is not a good hiding place. I can see your hair and your eyes. You are not hidden at all!" + +Lily pouts and says, "Fine, you found me. But next time, I will find a better hiding place. You will never find me then!" + +Tom says, "OK, let's play again. This time, I will hide and you will seek. But you have to count to ten first." + +Lily says, "OK, I will count to ten. But you better hide well, because I am a good seeker. I will find you for sure!" + +Tom and Lily switch roles and play hide and seek again. They have fun and laugh a lot. They love playing together. +Lily and Max were very excited to see the big show. They put on their best clothes and went with Mom and Dad to the theater. There were many people and lights and noises. + +"Look, Max, there are the dancers!" Lily pointed at the stage, where some people in colorful costumes were spinning and jumping. "They are so pretty and fast!" + +Max nodded and clapped his hands. He liked the music and the bright colors. He also liked the funny clown who made jokes and faces. He laughed and said, "The clown is silly and funny!" + +Mom and Dad smiled and watched the show with Lily and Max. They also clapped and cheered when the show was over. The dancers and the clown bowed and waved to the audience. + +"That was an impressive show, don't you think?" Dad asked Lily and Max. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily and Max agreed. "We liked the dancers and the clown. They were very good!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now it's time to go home. It's night and you need to sleep." + +Lily and Max nodded and yawned. They were tired but happy. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the show and said good night. They dreamed of dancers and clowns and applause. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a bird in a cage. The bird looked sad and lonely. It had no friends and no food. + +"Who put the bird in the cage?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was the bad man who lives next door. He is mean and scary," Ben said. + +Lily felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to help it. She looked around and saw some berries on a bush. She picked some and put them in her pocket. + +"Let's release the bird. It can fly away and be happy," she said. + +Ben nodded. He was brave and clever. He found a stick and used it to open the cage. The bird saw the open door and flew out. It was free and happy. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the bird said. It saw the berries in Lily's pocket and flew to her. It took one and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. + +"You're welcome, bird. We are your friends. You can have more berries if you want," Lily said. + +The bird smiled and sang a beautiful song. It flew around Lily and Ben and gave them a kiss. Then it flew away to find more friends and food. + +Lily and Ben were happy too. They had done a good thing. They ate some berries and played some more. They hoped the bird would come back and visit them. They were good and kind. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tree house. They have many toys in the tree house. + +One day, they find a big apple in the tree house. It is red and shiny. It looks perfect. Tom and Lily want to eat the apple. + +"Let's share the apple," Tom says. + +"OK," Lily says. "You can have the first bite." + +Tom takes a big bite of the apple. But he spits it out. The apple is bad. It is brown and soft inside. It has worms. It is rot. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. "This apple is rot. It is not perfect. It is gross." + +Lily looks at the apple. She sees the worms. She feels sick. She throws the apple away. + +"Where did the apple come from?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe someone left it here a long time ago. Maybe it was a bad joke." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They wanted a good apple. They wanted a perfect apple. They go down from the tree house. They look for a new apple. + +They see a basket of apples on the porch. The apples are fresh and crisp. They smell good. They are perfect. + +"Look!" Lily says. "There are more apples. They are perfect. Let's take one." + +"OK," Tom says. "But we have to ask mom first. Maybe they are not ours." + +Tom and Lily run to the house. They find mom in the kitchen. They ask her if they can have an apple. + +"Of course you can," mom says. "They are from our neighbor. He has an apple tree. He gave us some apples. They are very good. You can have one each." + +"Thank you, mom," Tom and Lily say. They take an apple each. They go back to the garden. They eat the apples. They are sweet and juicy. They are perfect. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They have a good apple. They have a perfect apple. They smile at each other. They hug. They love apples. They love mom. They love each other. +Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play with something fun. They saw a big shelf in the living room. The shelf had many things on it. Some things were shiny, some things were soft, some things were weird. + +"Let's play with the shelf!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something cool!" + +"Okay!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said not to touch the shelf." + +They went to the shelf and looked at the things. They saw a glass ball with snow inside, a fluffy bear with a red hat, a weird thing that looked like a snake with legs, and many more. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. She picked up the glass ball and shook it. The snow moved inside. "It's like magic!" + +"Can I see?" Tom asked. He reached for the glass ball. But Lily did not want to share. She pulled the ball away from Tom. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "Find your own thing!" + +Tom was angry. He wanted to see the glass ball too. He pushed Lily. Lily pushed him back. They started to fight. They did not see the shelf shaking. They did not hear the things falling. They did not notice the weird thing that looked like a snake with legs waking up. + +The weird thing was angry too. It did not like to be on the shelf. It did not like to be touched. It did not like the noise. It wanted to break free. It opened its mouth and bit the shelf. The shelf broke. The things crashed to the floor. The glass ball shattered. The fluffy bear ripped. The weird thing slithered away. + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at the mess. They looked at each other. They were scared. They heard Mom and Dad coming. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had not played with the shelf. They wished they had listened. They wished they had been nice. But it was too late. The end. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They were curious about what was under the tree. + +"Let's go and see!" said Tom. + +"OK!" said Mia. + +They ran to the tree and saw many things on the ground. They saw sticks, stones, feathers, nuts and pine cones. They decided to gather some of them and make a pile. + +"Look, I found a shiny stone!" said Mia. + +"Wow, that's pretty! I found a long stick!" said Tom. + +They put their things on the pile and looked at them. They were happy with their treasure. + +But then they heard a noise. It was a rustle in the leaves. They looked up and saw a big shadow on the tree. It was a squirrel. The squirrel was looking at their pile. It was curious too. + +"Hello, squirrel!" said Tom. + +"Can we share our things with you?" said Mia. + +The squirrel nodded and came down from the tree. It picked up a nut and a pine cone and ran back up. It thanked them with a squeak. + +Tom and Mia smiled and waved. They made a new friend. They decided to leave some things for the squirrel and take some things home. They were happy with their adventure. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and eat cookies. One day, they go to Mia's house after school. Mia's mom gives them two cookies each. One cookie is regular, and one cookie is special. The special cookie has chocolate chips and sprinkles. + +Mia says, "I want the special cookie. You can have the regular cookie, Tom." + +Tom says, "No, I want the special cookie too. It looks yummy. You can have the regular cookie, Mia." + +They both reach for the same cookie. They pull and tug. The cookie breaks in half. They both get some chocolate chips and sprinkles, but not many. + +Mia says, "This is not fair. You broke the cookie. You are a bad friend." + +Tom says, "No, you are a bad friend. You did not share the cookie. You are greedy." + +They get angry. They yell and scream. They slap each other. They cry. + +Mia's mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the broken cookie and the sad children. She says, "What happened? Why are you fighting?" + +Tom and Mia tell her what happened. They blame each other. They say sorry. + +Mia's mom says, "Fighting is not nice. Slapping is not nice. Cookies are for sharing. Friends are for caring. You both made a mistake. You both need to say sorry to each other and hug." + +Tom and Mia say sorry to each other. They hug. They feel better. + +Mia's mom says, "I have a surprise for you. I have more cookies in the oven. They are all special. You can each have one more cookie, if you promise to be nice and share." + +Tom and Mia say, "Yes, we promise. Thank you, Mia's mom. You are a good mom." + +They smile. They wait for the cookies. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy planes in the garden. They liked to pretend they were pilots and fly to different places. Lily had a red plane and Ben had a blue plane. + +"Look, I'm going to the moon!" Lily said, making her plane zoom in the air. + +"That's cool, but I'm going to the jungle!" Ben said, making his plane swoop and dive. + +They played for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, pilots, time to land your planes and eat!" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen, where Mom had made them sandwiches and fruit. They washed their hands and sat down at the table. + +"Thank you, Mom, this looks delicious!" Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom, you're the best!" Ben said. + +They ate their lunch and told Mom about their adventures with their planes. Mom smiled and listened. + +When they finished, they asked Mom if they could play some more. + +"Sure, but first, you need to rub your faces with this napkin. You have some crumbs and juice on your cheeks," Mom said, handing them each a napkin. + +Lily and Ben rubbed their faces with the napkins, then gave Mom a hug and a kiss. + +"Can we take our planes outside again?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, but be careful and don't fly too far," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom, we will!" Ben said. + +They grabbed their planes and ran outside, ready for more fun. They were happy pilots. +Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They saw a big barrel full of water. They wanted to splash in it. + +"Let's splash, let's splash!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. It's deep." Max said. + +They took off their shoes and socks and climbed on the barrel. They dipped their feet in the water and made big splashes. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the dog from next door. He had escaped from his fence and ran into the yard. He saw the barrel and thought it was a pool. He jumped on it and tried to swim. + +"Hey, get off, Rex! You're too big!" Max shouted. + +"Go away, Rex! You're ruining our game!" Lily cried. + +But Rex did not listen. He kept splashing and barking. He made the barrel shake and tip over. The water spilled out and soaked Lily and Max. They fell off the barrel and got muddy. + +They were wet and cold and angry. They ran inside the house and told their mom what happened. + +Mom was not happy. She scolded Rex and took him back to his fence. She gave Lily and Max some towels and dry clothes. She also gave them some cookies and milk. + +She said, "I'm sorry, kids. Rex is a bad dog. He doesn't know how to play nice. He thinks everything is a toy. Even the barrel." + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt better. They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They looked at the barrel outside. It was empty and dirty. + +They said, "That's a fake barrel. It's not a real pool. We don't like it anymore." + +They decided to play with something else. Something that Rex could not spoil. They found some crayons and paper and drew pictures. They drew a real pool with slides and floats and toys. They smiled and dreamed. They said, "Maybe someday, we can go to a real pool. And splash all we want." +Tom and Mia liked to play in the sand. They made a big castle with towers and walls. They used shells and sticks to decorate it. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look, our castle is so nice!" Mia said. + +"Yes, it is. Let's spread some water on it to make it stronger," Tom said. + +They ran to the sea and filled their buckets with water. They splashed the water on their castle. They laughed and had fun. + +But they did not see a big shadow in the water. It was a shark. The shark was shy and curious. He wanted to see what the children were doing. He swam closer and closer to the shore. + +Suddenly, he saw the castle. He thought it was a snack. He opened his mouth and bit the castle. He broke the towers and walls. He made a big mess. + +Tom and Mia heard a loud noise. They turned around and saw the shark. They were very scared. They dropped their buckets and ran away. + +"Help, help, a shark!" they shouted. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to see. They saw the shark and the ruined castle. They hugged Tom and Mia and took them to a safe place. + +The shark realized he had made a mistake. He did not like the taste of sand and shells. He felt sorry for the children. He swam away and looked for something else to eat. He hoped the children would forgive him. He was just a shy and curious shark. +Tom and Mia were playing in the yard. They saw a big red truck with a long hose. It was a fire truck. They wanted to see it up close. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Mia said. "Maybe they will let us ride the truck." + +They ran to the truck. But the firemen were busy. They were putting out a flame in a house. The flame was big and hot. It made a lot of smoke. + +"Stay back, kids!" one fireman said. "It's not safe here. Go back to your yard." + +Tom and Mia did not listen. They climbed on the truck. They saw a lot of buttons and levers. They wanted to touch them. + +"Look, Mia!" Tom said. "This one says lock. I wonder what it does." + +He pushed the button. The door of the truck closed. It locked. Tom and Mia were trapped inside. + +"Help!" Mia cried. "We can't get out!" + +The firemen heard them. They ran to the truck. They tried to open the door. But it was locked. They needed a key. + +"Where is the key?" one fireman asked. + +"I don't know," another fireman said. "It must be inside the house. But we can't go in. The flame is too thick." + +Tom and Mia were scared. They saw the flame getting closer. They saw the smoke getting darker. They wished they had listened to the fireman. + +"Sorry, Tom," Mia said. "This was a bad idea." + +"Sorry, Mia," Tom said. "I hope they find the key soon." +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and trains. They make noises and move them on the floor. + +One day, Tim brings a new vehicle. It is big and red. It has a ladder and a hose. It is a fire truck. Tim is very happy. He says, "Look, Sam, this is my fire truck. It is heavy and fast. It can put out fires. It is the best vehicle ever." + +Sam likes the fire truck too. He wants to play with it. He says, "Can I hold it, Tim? Can I make it go vroom vroom?" Tim shakes his head. He says, "No, Sam, this is my fire truck. It belongs to me. You can play with your own vehicles." + +Sam feels sad. He says, "But I like your fire truck, Tim. It is so cool and shiny. Please share it with me. We can take turns. We are friends, right?" Tim thinks for a moment. He remembers that Sam always shares his vehicles with him. He says, "Okay, Sam, you can play with my fire truck. But be careful. It is heavy and fragile. Don't drop it or break it." + +Sam smiles. He says, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. I will be careful with your fire truck. I will make it go vroom vroom and nee naw nee naw." Tim smiles too. He says, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a good friend too. I will play with your vehicles. They are fun and colorful." They hug and play with their vehicles. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and colors to have fun with. But they also liked to do things they were not supposed to do, like mix things that should not be mixed. + +One day, they found a bottle of glue and a bottle of glitter in their mom's drawer. They thought they could make something pretty with them. They did not ask their mom, they just took them to their room and started to mix them. + +"Look, Ben, I can make a star with glue and glitter!" Anna said, as she squeezed some glue on a paper and sprinkled some glitter on it. + +"That's nice, Anna, but I can make a bigger star!" Ben said, as he poured more glue and more glitter on another paper. + +They kept mixing glue and glitter until they ran out of both. Then they looked around their room and saw that they had made a big mess. There was glue and glitter everywhere: on the floor, on the bed, on the walls, on the clothes, on the toys, on the books, even on their hair. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Anna said, as she tried to wipe some glitter off her face. + +"We have to clean this up before mom sees it!" Ben said, as he tried to pick up some glue from the bed. + +But it was too late. Their mom came to their room and saw the disaster. She was very angry and sad. She had bought the glue and the glitter for a delicate project she was working on. She had told them not to touch her things without asking. She had trusted them to play nicely in their room. + +"Anna, Ben, how could you do this?" she said, as she looked at them with a stern face. "You have ruined my project and your room. You have wasted my things and your time. You have disobeyed me and lied to me. You have to learn to respect other people's belongings and to ask before you take something. You have to learn to be careful and responsible with what you use. You have to learn to clean up after yourselves and to apologize for your mistakes. You are in big trouble, young ones. You have to stay in your room until you clean everything up. And you have no toys, no books, no colors, and no dessert for a week. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded, with tears in their eyes. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not mixed the glue and the glitter. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that mixing things that should not be mixed can have bad consequences. They learned that they should not do things they are not supposed to do. They learned that they should be more respectful, careful, and responsible. They learned that they should always ask before they take something. They learned that they should always clean up after themselves and apologize for their mistakes. They learned that they should always listen to their mom. They learned that they should always love their mom. +Tommy was sad. He missed his mom. She went to the doctor and did not come back yet. Tommy wanted to hug her and play with her. + +He saw a shiny thing on the table. It was a needle. Tommy liked shiny things. He wanted to touch it. He did not know it was sharp. + +"Tommy, no!" his dad shouted. He ran to Tommy and took the needle away. "This is not a toy. This can hurt you. You have to be careful." + +Tommy did not understand. He felt angry. He tried to grab the needle again. But his dad held him tight. Tommy cried and kicked. + +"Shh, it's okay. I'm sorry. I know you miss mom. I miss her too. But she will be back soon. She just needs some medicine. The needle helps her get better. But it is not for you. You are healthy and strong." his dad said. He kissed Tommy and rocked him. + +Tommy felt dizzy. He was tired from crying. He closed his eyes and snuggled with his dad. He hoped mom would come back soon. He loved her very much. +Tom and Mia were playing in the yard. They had a big box and some sticks. They wanted to make a house. + +"I will serve you tea," Mia said. She had a cup and a spoon. She pretended to pour water from a can. + +"Thank you," Tom said. He had a saw and a hammer. He pretended to cut and nail the sticks. "This will be a nice house." + +They worked and played until it was dark. The sky was black and the stars were bright. They heard a noise from the bushes. + +"What is that?" Mia asked. She was scared. + +"Maybe it is a bear," Tom said. He was brave. He picked up his saw and held it like a sword. + +They saw two yellow eyes and a big nose. It was not a bear. It was their dog, Rex. He came out of the bushes and wagged his tail. + +"Rex!" Tom and Mia said. They were happy. They hugged their dog and gave him some tea. + +"Let's go inside," Tom said. "It is too dark to play." + +"Okay," Mia said. "But we can play again tomorrow." + +They took their box and their sticks and their dog. They went inside their real house. They had dinner and a bath and a story. They went to bed and dreamed of their house. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They are very hot and thirsty. They see a big tree with a lot of shade under it. + +"Let's go to the tree and rest," Sara says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They run to the tree and sit on the grass. They feel cooler and happier. + +"Look, there is a lemonade stand over there," Ben says, pointing to a small table with a sign and a pitcher. + +"Maybe we can buy some lemonade," Sara says. + +They get up and walk to the stand. A boy is sitting behind the table. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, do you want some lemonade?" he asks. + +"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say. + +The boy pours two cups of lemonade and gives them to Sara and Ben. + +"That will be one dollar each," he says. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They do not have any money. + +"We are sorry, we do not have any money," Sara says. + +The boy frowns. He does not like that. + +"Then you cannot have the lemonade," he says. He takes the cups back and puts them on the table. + +Sara and Ben feel sad and angry. They want the lemonade. + +"That is not fair," Ben says. + +"You are not nice," Sara says. + +They turn around and walk away. + +They see a girl sitting under another tree. She has a basket with some cookies and a jug with some water. + +"Hello, do you want some cookies and water?" she asks. + +Sara and Ben nod. They are hungry and thirsty. + +The girl gives them each a cookie and a cup of water. + +"Thank you," Sara and Ben say. + +"You are welcome," the girl says. + +She does not ask for any money. She is happy to share. + +"You are very kind," Sara says. + +"You are very smart," Ben says. + +The girl smiles. She likes that. + +They sit together under the tree and eat the cookies and drink the water. They talk and laugh and have fun. + +They are friends. +Lily and Ben love to ride the big wheel at the fair. They wait in line with their mom and dad, holding their popcorn. They are very excited to see the whole fair from the top. + +But when they get to the front of the line, a rude boy cuts in front of them. He pushes Lily and Ben aside and jumps into the seat they wanted. He laughs and sticks out his tongue. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily says. "We were here first!" + +"Too bad, losers!" the rude boy says. "I'm the king of the big wheel!" + +Lily and Ben are very sad and angry. They look at their mom and dad, who are also upset. + +"Sorry, kids," their dad says. "Some people are just rude and don't care about others. But don't worry, we'll find another seat for you." + +Their mom nods and gives them a hug. "That's right, sweeties. Don't let him ruin your fun. You are kind and polite, and that's what matters." + +Lily and Ben smile and thank their mom and dad. They find another seat on the big wheel, next to a nice girl and a friendly dog. They share their popcorn with them and enjoy the ride. They see the whole fair from the top, and forget about the rude boy. They have a wonderful time. +Lily was a girl who liked to run. She ran fast in the park, in the school, and in the house. She liked to speed like a car or a plane. But one day, she ran too fast and fell down. She hurt her knee and it was bleeding. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "Mommy, help me!" + +Mommy came and saw Lily's knee. She was worried and said, "Oh, Lily, you need to see a doctor. He can make your knee better. Come on, let's go to the car." + +They got in the car and drove to the hospital. Lily was scared and said, "Mommy, I don't want to see the doctor. He will poke me with a needle." + +Mommy said, "No, Lily, the doctor is nice and gentle. He will not poke you with a needle. He will use a modern machine that can heal your knee with a light. It will not hurt at all. Trust me, okay?" + +They arrived at the hospital and met the doctor. He was friendly and smiled at Lily. He said, "Hello, Lily, I'm Dr. Lee. I heard you had a little accident. Don't worry, I will fix your knee in no time. Just lie down on this bed and let me put this machine on your knee. It will make a beep sound and a warm light. That's all." + +Lily was curious and said, "What is that machine, Dr. Lee?" + +Dr. Lee said, "This is a modern machine that can heal wounds with a light. It is very safe and effective. It will make your knee stop bleeding and feel better. Are you ready, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Dr. Lee. I'm ready." + +Dr. Lee turned on the machine and it made a beep sound and a warm light. Lily felt a tickle on her knee and then nothing. She looked at her knee and saw that it was not bleeding anymore. It had a band-aid on it. + +Dr. Lee said, "There you go, Lily. You are all done. How do you feel?" + +Lily said, "I feel good, Dr. Lee. Thank you for fixing my knee. You are a great doctor." + +Dr. Lee said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are a brave girl. Just remember to be careful when you run, okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Dr. Lee. I will be careful. Can I run again soon?" + +Dr. Lee said, "Yes, Lily, you can run again soon. But not today. Today, you need to rest and let your knee heal. Maybe tomorrow, you can run again. But not too fast, okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Dr. Lee. Not too fast. Thank you again." + +Mommy said, "Thank you, Dr. Lee. You are very kind and modern. Come on, Lily, let's go home." + +They said goodbye to Dr. Lee and went home. Lily was happy and said, "Mommy, I like Dr. Lee. He is nice and modern. He fixed my knee with a light. That was cool." + +Mommy said, "I'm glad you liked Dr. Lee, Lily. He is a good doctor. And I'm proud of you, Lily. You were brave and strong. I love you, Lily." + +Lily said, "I love you too, Mommy. You are the best mommy." +Timmy woke up early in the morning. He was very excited. Today was his birthday. He jumped out of bed and ran to the living room. He saw a big pile of presents on the table. He wanted to open them right away. + +But his mom and dad were still sleeping. Timmy knew he had to wait for them. He tried to be quiet. He looked at the presents. He saw one that was very big and had a bow on it. He wondered what was inside. He touched it gently. It felt soft and furry. + +He heard a noise. It was his mom and dad. They came to the living room. They smiled and hugged him. "Happy birthday, Timmy!" they said. "Are you ready to open your presents?" + +Timmy nodded. He pointed to the big one. "Can I open this one first?" he asked. + +"Sure, go ahead," his mom said. "But be careful. It might be fragile." + +Timmy tore the paper off. He gasped. It was a teddy bear. A big, brown, fluffy teddy bear. He loved it. He hugged it tight. He felt something move. He looked at the teddy bear. It opened its eyes. It was not a fake teddy bear. It was a real one. + +"Surprise!" his dad said. "We got you a real teddy bear. His name is Buddy. He is very friendly and gentle. He will be your best friend." + +Timmy was shocked. He was scared. He did not want a real teddy bear. He wanted a fake one. A fake one that did not move or make noises. A fake one that he could play with and cuddle with. He did not know what to do with a real one. + +He pushed the teddy bear away. He started to cry. "I don't want a real teddy bear!" he shouted. "I want a fake one!" + +His mom and dad looked sad. They did not understand. They thought he would be happy. They thought they gave him the best present ever. They did not know he liked fake things better. + +They tried to calm him down. They tried to explain. They tried to make him like the real teddy bear. But Timmy did not listen. He kept crying. He wanted a fake teddy bear. He did not want a real one. He did not want a surprise. He did not want a birthday. He was not excited. He was unhappy. +Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses, but she was not happy. She was always grumpy and rude to everyone. She did not say thank you or please, and she did not share or help. + +One day, a fairy came to visit her. The fairy wanted to see if Lily was a good princess or a bad princess. She asked Lily to show her around the castle. Lily did not want to, but she had to. She pointed at everything with her finger and said, "This is mine, and this is mine, and this is mine. You cannot touch anything. Go away!" + +The fairy was sad and angry. She said, "Lily, you are a very bad princess. You are selfish and mean. You do not deserve all these things. I will take them away from you and give them to someone who is kind and grateful." She waved her wand and all of Lily's toys and dresses disappeared. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She cried and begged the fairy to give them back. She said, "Please, please, please, I am sorry, I will be good, I will say thank you and please, I will share and help, please, please, please!" + +The fairy smiled and said, "Lily, I am glad you are sorry, but you have to prove it. You have to be nice to everyone for one week. If you do, I will give you back your things. If you don't, I will keep them forever. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I understand, I will be nice, I promise, thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +The fairy said, "Good. I will be watching you. Remember, be a good princess, not a bad princess." She flew away and left Lily alone. + +Lily learned her lesson. She was nice to everyone for one week. She said thank you and please, she shared and helped, she smiled and laughed. She made many friends and had fun. The fairy was happy and proud. She gave Lily back her things and said, "Lily, you are a very good princess. You are generous and kind. You deserve all these things. Keep being good and you will be happy." + +Lily hugged the fairy and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the best fairy ever. I will keep being good and I will be happy. I love you." + +The fairy said, "I love you too, Lily. Goodbye." She flew away and left Lily happy. + +The moral of the story is: Be nice to everyone and you will be happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. But today, they are naughty. They see a big red flower. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a pretty flower!" Anna says. + +"Let's pick it!" Ben says. + +They run to the flower. They do not see the sign. The sign says: "Do not touch. This flower can make you itch." + +They pull the flower. They smell it. They feel something on their hands. It is tiny and sharp. It makes them itch. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna and Ben cry. They drop the flower. They scratch their hands. + +Mama hears them. She comes to the garden. She sees the flower. She sees the sign. She sees their hands. She is angry. + +"Anna and Ben, what did you do?" Mama asks. + +"We picked the flower, Mama. It was pretty. But it made us itch. We are sorry, Mama." Anna and Ben say. + +Mama sighs. She takes them to the house. She washes their hands. She puts some cream on them. She hugs them. + +"You were naughty, Anna and Ben. You did not listen to the sign. You should not touch things that you do not know. They can hurt you. Do you understand?" Mama says. + +"Yes, Mama. We understand. We will not do it again. We love you, Mama." Anna and Ben say. + +Mama smiles. She loves them too. She hopes they will be good. She hopes the itch will go away soon. She thinks the flower is not pretty. It is mean. It seems to like to make people itch. +Sara had a lot of toys, but she did not like to share them with her friends. She was selfish and wanted to keep them all for herself. One day, she saw a new doll in the shop window. It was big and pretty and had a pink dress. Sara wanted the doll very much, but she did not have enough money to buy it. + +She ran home and looked for some money in her piggy bank. She found some coins, but not enough. She thought of a bad idea. She went to her room and took some of her toys that she did not play with anymore. She put them in a big rag and tied it with a string. She hoped to sell them to other kids and get more money for the doll. + +She went to the park and saw some kids playing. She asked them if they wanted to buy some toys. Some of them were interested and looked at the rag. They saw some old and broken toys that Sara did not care about. They did not want to buy them. They said they were not worth any money. Sara was angry and said they were good toys. She lied and said they were new and fun. + +One of the kids saw a small teddy bear in the rag. It was Sara's first toy that her grandma gave her when she was a baby. It was soft and cuddly and had a red bow. The kid liked the teddy bear and asked Sara how much it was. Sara said it was very expensive and asked for a lot of money. The kid did not have that much money, but he really wanted the teddy bear. He gave Sara all the money he had and took the teddy bear. + +Sara was happy. She had enough money for the doll. She ran to the shop and bought the doll. She hugged it and smiled. She thought she was smart and clever. She did not think about the kid who gave her his money for the teddy bear. + +The next day, Sara went to the park again with her new doll. She saw the kid who bought the teddy bear. He was sad and crying. He told Sara that the teddy bear did not fit in his bed. It was too small and lonely. He missed his money and his other toys. He asked Sara if she could give him back his money or his toys. He said he made a mistake and he was sorry. + +Sara did not care. She was selfish and rude. She said no and laughed at him. She said he was stupid and silly. She said she liked her doll more than anything. She said the teddy bear was hers and she did not want it back. She walked away with her doll and left the kid alone. + +Sara did not know that the doll was not a good toy. It was not soft and cuddly like the teddy bear. It was hard and cold and had a button on its back. When Sara pressed the button, the doll said mean things. It said Sara was selfish and rude. It said Sara had no friends and no one liked her. It said Sara was stupid and silly. It said Sara did not deserve the doll. + +Sara was scared and sad. She did not like the doll anymore. She wished she had her teddy bear back. She wished she had her friends back. She wished she was not selfish and rude. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that being selfish is not good. She learned that sharing is better. She learned that toys are not as important as friends. She learned that the teddy bear did not fit in her bed either. It fit in her heart. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny needle in their mom's sewing box. They wanted to see what it could do, so they took it to their room. + +"Look, Lily, this needle is so sharp and shiny!" Tom said. "I can poke it through this cloth and make holes." + +"That's fun, Tom, but be careful!" Lily said. "Mom said needles can hurt you if you touch them with your skin." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He thought he was mighty and brave. He poked the needle through the cloth faster and faster, until he missed and poked his finger. He cried out loud and dropped the needle. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Tom said. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She wanted to make him feel better. But she did not see the needle on the floor. She stepped on it and felt a sharp pain in her foot. She screamed and let go of Tom. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Lily said. "Tom, help me!" + +Tom and Lily both cried and hugged each other. They were scared and hurt. They wished they had not played with the needle. They wished they had listened to their mom. + +But it was too late. The needle had made them bleed. The blood had germs that made them sick. They got a fever and a rash. They had to go to the hospital and get more needles from the doctor. They did not like the needles. They did not like the hospital. They did not like the story. It had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were enthusiastic to play outside. They loved the sunshine and the flowers. They ran and jumped and laughed. + +But then, they saw a big cloud. The cloud was gray and angry. It covered the sun and made the sky dark. The cloud started to rain. Lily and Ben felt sad and wet. + +"Let's go inside," Lily said. "The rain is too cold." + +"No, let's stay," Ben said. "We can save the sunshine." + +"How can we save the sunshine?" Lily asked. + +Ben had an idea. He took his yellow umbrella and opened it. He held it high in the air. + +"Look, Lily," he said. "The umbrella is like the sun. It is bright and warm. If we hold it up, maybe the cloud will go away." + +Lily liked Ben's idea. She took her orange scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She said it was like a flower. + +"Maybe the cloud will like our colors," she said. "Maybe it will stop raining and smile." + +Lily and Ben walked around the garden with their umbrella and scarf. They sang a happy song. They hoped the cloud would hear them and see them. + +And then, something wonderful happened. The cloud heard them and saw them. The cloud liked their colors and their song. The cloud felt sorry for being angry and raining. The cloud decided to move away and let the sun shine again. + +Lily and Ben cheered. They had saved the sunshine. They thanked the cloud for being nice. They hugged each other and continued to play. They were very happy. +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and books at home. But today, her mom said they had to go to a big party. There would be many people there, and Anna had to wear a nice dress. + +Anna did not want to go. She was scared. She held her mom's hand tight as they walked to the car. She asked, "Mom, do I have to talk to anyone?" + +Mom smiled and said, "No, sweetie, you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to. But maybe you can try to make one friend. It can be fun to play with someone else. You can imagine anything you want with them." + +Anna did not say anything. She looked out the window and wondered who she could play with. + +When they got to the party, Anna saw a big table with lots of food. She saw pizza, cake, cookies, and salad. She liked salad. She liked the green leaves and the red tomatoes. She wanted to eat some salad. + +She saw a boy standing near the table. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He was holding a plate with salad on it. He looked shy too. He did not talk to anyone. He just ate his salad. + +Anna felt curious. She wanted to talk to him. She walked slowly to the table and took a plate. She put some salad on it. She looked at the boy and said, "Hi, I like salad. Do you like salad?" + +The boy looked at her and smiled. He said, "Yes, I like salad. It's yummy and healthy. My name is Ben. What's your name?" + +Anna smiled back. She said, "My name is Anna. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "Let's imagine we are rabbits. We can hop around and eat salad. It will be fun." + +Ben agreed. He said, "OK, let's imagine we are rabbits. I will be a brown rabbit and you will be a white rabbit. Let's go." + +Anna and Ben put their plates down and ran to the garden. They hopped around and pretended to eat salad. They laughed and had fun. They made a new friend. They were not shy anymore. They were happy. +Anna and her mom went to the subway to go to the park. Anna liked the subway, but it was very loud and fast. She held her mom's hand tight. + +"Mom, can we sit down?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's find a seat." Mom said. + +They walked to a car that had some empty seats. Anna saw a small dog on a leash. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked scared of the subway. + +"Mom, can I pet the dog?" Anna asked. + +"Only if the owner says it's okay." Mom said. + +They went to the owner, a lady with glasses and a hat. She smiled at Anna and her mom. + +"Hello, this is Coco. She's a friendly dog, but she doesn't like the subway very much. She gets nervous." The lady said. + +"Can I pet her?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can. Just be gentle and calm." The lady said. + +Anna reached out her hand and touched Coco's fur. Coco licked Anna's hand and wagged her tail. Anna giggled. + +"She's so soft and warm." Anna said. + +"You're very nice to her. She likes you." The lady said. + +The subway stopped at a station. Some people got off and some people got on. A big man with a backpack bumped into the lady and Coco. Coco yelped and tried to hide under the seat. + +"Hey, watch it!" The lady said. + +"Sorry, lady. I didn't see your dog." The man said. + +Anna felt sorry for Coco. She wanted to protect her from the big man and the loud subway. + +"It's okay, Coco. I'm here. You're safe." Anna said. + +She hugged Coco and stroked her fur. Coco snuggled up to Anna and stopped shaking. + +"Thank you, sweetie. You're very kind and brave." The lady said. + +Anna smiled. She felt happy and proud. She made a new friend and helped her feel better. + +"Mom, can we take Coco to the park with us?" Anna asked. + +Mom looked at the lady. The lady nodded. + +"Sure, we can. As long as Coco wants to go." Mom said. + +Coco barked and licked Anna's face. Anna laughed. + +"She wants to go. She likes the park." Anna said. + +They all got off the subway and walked to the park. Anna held Coco's leash and Mom held Anna's hand. They had a fun day playing and exploring. Anna and Coco became best friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They jog and jump and laugh. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and furry. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. Anna and Ben are scared. They stop jogging and hide behind a tree. + +"Go away, dog!" Anna says. "We do not want to play with you!" + +But the dog does not go away. It runs to the tree and sniffs. It wags its tail and licks. It wants to play with Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben peek from behind the tree. They see the dog's eyes and tongue. They see the dog is not mean. It is friendly. + +"Maybe the dog is nice," Ben says. "Maybe we can play with it." + +Anna and Ben come out from behind the tree. They pet the dog and scratch its ears. The dog wags its tail and barks. It jogs with Anna and Ben. They have fun. + +The end. +Sam liked to go to the theater with his mom. They would watch funny people on a big stage. Sometimes they would sing or dance or tell jokes.

Mom said they would see a show with animals. Sam loved animals. He wondered what kind of animals they would see. He hoped they would see a lion or a bear or a monkey. + +They got to the theater and mom gave their tickets to a man. The man smiled and said, "Enjoy the show!" He also gave Sam a bag of popcorn. Sam thanked him and took the popcorn. He was hungry and excited. He followed mom to their seats. + +The lights went down and the show started. Sam saw a lot of people on the stage.

It was coming towards them. Sam felt afraid and uncomfortable. He dropped his popcorn and grabbed mom's hand. He said, "Mom, let's go!" Mom said, "Don't worry, Sam. It's part of the show. It's a fake lion. It won't hurt us." She tried to calm him down. + +But Sam did not believe her. He saw the lion's teeth and claws. He saw the people on the stage and in the seats scream and run. He saw the man who gave them the popcorn. He was not smiling. He was hiding behind a curtain. Sam knew it was not a fake lion. It was a real lion. It had escaped from the zoo.

They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced the ball very high and watched it fly in the air. + +"Look, Lila, I can bounce the ball over the tree!" Tom said. He threw the ball with all his might and it went over the tree and landed on the other side. + +"Wow, Tom, you are very strong!" Lila said. "Can you get the ball back?" + +Tom ran to the tree and looked for the ball. He saw it lying on the grass, but there was something else near it. It was a small, black, buzzing thing.

Do you want to play some more?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, please. But can we play something else? I don't want to sneeze again." + +Ben agreed. He said, "How about we play with the blocks? We can build a tower or a house." + +Lily liked that idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds fun." + +They put away their toy cars and got their blocks. They started to build and play. They forgot about the sneeze and the zoom.

They were too scared to talk. + +"Come on, don't be shy!" the dragon said. "I just want to be your friend. Can you repeat what I say?" + +The dragon said some words in a strange language.

Eat your sandwich first, then you can have some jelly." + +Ben felt sad. He did not mean to make a mess. He did not mean to make Mom unhappy. He looked at his sandwich and decided to try it.

They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving or talking. + +"Vroom, vroom, my truck is faster than your doll!" Tom said. + +"No, no, my doll is smarter than your truck!" Lily said. + +They started to race their toys on the floor. Tom pushed his truck hard and Lily moved her doll along.

She was glad they told the truth, but she was not pleased with their behavior. + +"Playing is fun, but winning is not everything," Mom said. "You should be kind and fair to each other, and respect the things around you. The cloth is not a toy, it is my work. You should not make it dirty or wrinkled." + +She helped them lift the cloth and find their toys. They were still there, but they looked sad and dusty. + +"Look, your toys are not happy either," Mom said. "They need some care and love. Why don't you clean them and play nicely together?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry to Mom. They also said sorry to each other and to their toys.

He scared Tim and Sam very much. They screamed and cried and crawled out from under the desk. They saw their mom and Rex. They saw their toys and books and clothes. They saw their desk broken and ruined. They felt very sorry and ashamed. + +Their mom hugged them and said she was glad they were safe. She said she was also very sad and disappointed. She said they had been naughty and foolish. She said they had to go to school and learn and behave. She said they had to clean their room and fix their desk and apologize to Rex. She said they had to be honest and respectful and responsible. + +Tim and Sam nodded and said they were sorry. They said they had learned their lesson. They said they would never hide under the desk again. They said they would love their mom and Rex. They said they would hurry and get ready for school. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that lying and hiding can cause trouble and harm. It also teaches that listening and obeying can prevent problems and show love. +Lily was very brave. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She had a big bump on her head that hurt a lot. The doctor said he would make the bump go away and make Lily feel better. + +Lily was not scared of the doctor. He was very nice and gave her a sticker and a teddy bear. He said he would give her some medicine to make her sleep and then he would fix her head. Lily nodded and smiled. She was ready for the operation. + +But Lily was confused when she woke up. She was in a different room with a bandage on her head. She did not see the doctor or the teddy bear. She saw a nurse who smiled at her and said she did a great job. Lily wondered what happened. She wanted to see the doctor and the teddy bear. + +The nurse saw that Lily was confused. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. The doctor is very busy, but he will come to see you soon. He left the teddy bear for you. It's right here." She pointed to a shelf where Lily saw the teddy bear. Lily was happy to see the teddy bear. She reached for it and hugged it. + +The nurse said, "You are very brave, Lily. You dared to have the operation and now you are feeling better. The bump on your head is gone. You can go home soon and play with your friends." Lily smiled and thanked the nurse. She was glad she dared to have the operation. She was glad she had the teddy bear. She was glad she was feeling better. +Sara and Ben liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books, and more. But they did not like to put them away when they were done. They left them on the floor, on the couch, on the table, everywhere. + +One day, it rained a lot outside. The rain was so much that it made a flood. The water came into the house and filled the living room. Sara and Ben were scared and ran to their mom and dad. They saw their toys floating in the water. Some of them were broken or dirty. They felt sad and sorry. + +Mom and dad helped them to get their toys out of the water. They put them in a big basket and took them to the bathroom. They washed them with soap and water and dried them with towels. They told Sara and Ben that they should organize their toys and put them in their places. They said that organizing was a good way to take care of their things and make the living room tidy and nice. + +Sara and Ben agreed. They felt bad for leaving their toys on the floor. They wanted to organize them and make them happy. They were enthusiastic and eager to start. They took the basket to their bedroom and sorted their toys by type and color. They put them in boxes, shelves, and drawers. They labeled them with stickers and names. They made their toys look neat and pretty. + +They showed their mom and dad their organized toys. Mom and dad were proud and happy. They hugged Sara and Ben and praised them for their good work. They said that organizing was fun and easy when they did it together.

They learned a lesson and had a story to tell. +One day, Sam and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with many colors and pictures on it. The truck said "Ice Cream". Sam and Lily liked ice cream very much. They ran to the truck and asked their mom for some. + +The man in the truck smiled and gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. Sam chose chocolate and Lily chose vanilla. They licked their ice cream and said "Yum!" But then they noticed something unusual. Their ice cream had tiny bits of something crunchy and salty in it. They did not like that. + +They looked at the truck again and saw that the pictures were not of ice cream, but of popcorn. The truck said "Popcorn Ice Cream". Sam and Lily made a face and said "Yuck!" They did not want to eat popcorn ice cream. They gave their cones back to the man and asked for something else. + +The man said he was sorry and opened a freezer in the truck. He took out two popsicles and gave them to Sam and Lily. One was red and one was blue. They looked like normal popsicles. Sam and Lily thanked the man and took a bite. They hoped they would like them. + +But as soon as they tasted them, they spit them out. The popsicles were not sweet and fruity, but sour and spicy. They burned their tongues and made them cough. They looked at the truck again and saw that the popsicles were not popsicles, but hot peppers. The truck said "Hot Pepper Popsicles". Sam and Lily cried and said "Ow!" + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the truck and the cones and the popsicles and the peppers. She was very angry and said "What is this? This is not ice cream or popsicles. This is a trick. You should not give this to children. This is bad." + +The man said he was sorry and that he was just trying to make something new and fun. He said he liked popcorn ice cream and hot pepper popsicles. He said they were unusual and had a lot of taste. He said he wanted to share them with everyone. + +But Sam and Lily and their mom did not think they were fun or tasty. They thought they were gross and mean. They told the man to go away and never come back. They went to another truck that had real ice cream and popsicles. They chose their favorite flavors and enjoyed them. They were happy and said "Ah!" +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big thing in the yard. It was round and shiny and had many colors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They took the thing to their room and tried to open it. They pulled and pushed and twisted, but the thing did not open. They got angry and started to fight. They each wanted the thing for themselves. + +They grabbed the thing and pulled hard. The thing made a loud noise and split in two. Ben and Sam were happy. They each had a part of the thing. They looked inside. + +But there was nothing inside. The thing was empty. It was just a ball of paper and foil. Ben and Sam felt sad and silly. They had wasted their time and ruined their toy. + +They wished they had shared the thing and played nicely. They wished they had been grateful for what they had. But it was too late. The thing was gone and they had no fun. They learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They ran, jumped, and slid on the grass and the swings. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It was brown and wet and had many plants. They wanted to see where it went. + +They walked on the path for a long time. They saw many bugs and frogs and birds. They heard strange noises and smelled bad things. They were not scared, they were curious. They wanted to see more. + +The path led them to a big swamp. It was a place with a lot of water and mud and green things. The water was not clear, it was dark and dirty. The mud was not soft, it was sticky and slimy. The green things were not pretty, they were tall and sharp and smelly. Tom and Mia did not like the swamp. They wanted to go back. + +But when they turned around, they saw something that made them stop. It was a big, high, hairy thing. It had two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and two ears. It looked like a bear, but it was not a bear. It was a swamp monster. It appeared from behind a tree and growled at them. Tom and Mia were very scared. They wanted to run. + +They ran as fast as they could. They did not look back. They followed the path to the park. They did not stop until they reached the grass and the swings. They were safe. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They decided to never go to the swamp again. They learned that some places are not good for playing. They learned that some things are better not to see. +Lila loves blueberries. She likes to pick them from the bush in the garden. She likes to eat them with her fingers. They are sweet and juicy and make her tongue purple. + +One day, Lila finds a very big blueberry. It is bigger than her thumb. It is shiny and round and dark blue. Lila is very happy. She wants to keep it for later. She does not want to eat it now. + +She puts the big blueberry in her pocket. She runs to show it to her mom. But on the way, she trips and falls. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She cries out loud. + +Her mom comes to help her. She hugs her and kisses her boo-boos. She looks at her pocket. She sees a wet stain. She pulls out the big blueberry. It is squished and broken. It is not shiny and round anymore. It is mushy and sticky. + +Lila is very sad. She wanted to keep the big blueberry. She did not know it was fragile. She did not know it could break so easily. She says sorry to the blueberry. She says sorry to her mom. + +Her mom smiles and wipes her tears. She says it is okay. She says blueberries are for eating, not for keeping. She says she has more blueberries in the kitchen. She says they can make a pie with them. She says they can share it with dad and brother. + +Lila feels better. She likes pie. She likes to share. She still loves blueberries. But she knows they are fragile. She knows she has to eat them before they break. She knows she can always find more. She holds her mom's hand and goes to the kitchen. +Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play with toys. Jenny had a big doll that she loved very much. She always dressed her doll in pretty clothes and brushed her hair. Tom had a car that he loved very much. He always drove his car around the room and made loud noises. + +One day, Jenny and Tom had a fight. Jenny wanted to play with Tom's car, but Tom said no. He said his car was too expensive and Jenny would break it. Jenny got angry and said she hated Tom. She grabbed his car and ran away. Tom got angry and said he hated Jenny. He chased her and tried to get his car back. + +They ran into the living room, where their mom was reading a book. They bumped into the table and knocked over a vase. The vase fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Their mom heard the crash and looked up. She saw the broken vase and the twins fighting over the car. She was very upset and said, "What are you doing? This vase was very expensive and you broke it! And why are you fighting over a toy? You should share and be nice to each other!" + +Jenny and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They stopped fighting and said sorry to their mom. They also said sorry to each other and hugged. They realized that they loved each other more than any toy. They decided to share their toys and play together. Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Toys are not as important as family and friends. And you should never hate or touch someone's things without asking. Hate and touch can hurt people and things. Love and share can make people and things happy." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. They are happy because they are on holiday with Mum and Dad. They are at a big house near the sea. They can see the water and the sand from their window. + +Every day, they go to the beach with Mum and Dad. They make sand castles and look for shells. They splash in the water and laugh. Sometimes they see fish and crabs. They are careful not to hurt them. They are kind to animals. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It is red and white. It has a loud horn. It is a ferry. Mum and Dad tell them that the ferry takes people to another place. They say that the ferry is reliable. It always comes and goes on time. It never breaks down. + +Anna and Ben want to go on the ferry. They ask Mum and Dad if they can. Mum and Dad say yes. They buy tickets and wait for the ferry. They are excited. They wonder what they will see on the other place. + +The ferry arrives and they get on. They find seats and look out the window. They see the beach and the house get smaller and smaller. They see other boats and birds. They feel the wind and the waves. They are happy. They are on a new adventure. They are on holiday. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a kite. They had fun. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was angry and loud. It ran after Anna and Ben. They were scared. They dropped the ball and the kite. They ran to the bench. They hoped the dog would go away. + +But the dog did not go away. It jumped on the bench. It barked and bit. Anna and Ben cried. They tried to comfort each other. They wished someone would help them. + +No one came to help them. The dog was too strong and mean. It hurt Anna and Ben. They stopped crying. They stopped moving. They stopped breathing. + +The dog was happy. It had a victory. It took the ball and the kite. It played with them. It felt peaceful. It did not care about Anna and Ben. It did not know they were gone. +Tim and Mia are friends who like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they see a big pond with many ducks and fish. They want to go closer and look at them. + +"Let's throw some pebbles in the water and see what happens," Tim says. He picks up a small, round pebble and tosses it into the pond. It makes a splash and a ripple. The ducks quack and swim away. The fish hide under the water. + +"That looks fun," Mia says. She picks up a bigger, sharper pebble and throws it harder. It makes a bigger splash and a bigger ripple. The ducks quack louder and fly away. The fish dart away faster. + +"Wow, you are good at throwing pebbles," Tim says. He looks around and sees a huge, heavy pebble. It is bigger than his hand and has rough edges. He wants to throw it too, but he is not sure if he can. + +"I dare you to throw that pebble," Mia says. She smiles and points at the huge pebble. "I bet you can't do it." + +Tim feels scared and excited. He wants to show Mia that he can do it, but he also thinks that it might be too hard and too loud. He looks at the pond and sees that it is quiet and peaceful. There are no ducks or fish left. He wonders if they are angry or sad. + +He looks at Mia and sees that she is waiting for him to throw the pebble. He looks at the pebble and sees that it is heavy and rough. He looks at himself and sees that he is small and soft. + +He makes a choice. He puts down the pebble and shakes his head. + +"No, I don't want to throw it," he says. "It is too big and too mean. It will hurt the water and the animals. I like the pond and the ducks and the fish. I don't want to make them go away." + +Mia looks surprised and then sorry. She puts down her pebble too and nods. + +"You are right," she says. "It is not nice to throw big and mean pebbles. It is better to be gentle and kind. I like the pond and the ducks and the fish too. I don't want to make them go away either." + +They hug and say sorry to the pond and the animals. They hope that they will come back soon. They decide to play something else that is fun and friendly. They are happy and proud of themselves. They are good friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room at night. They have a flashlight and a puppet show. They perform for their toys and make funny voices. + +One night, they hear a loud noise outside. They are scared. They turn on the flashlight and look out the window. They see a big dog with sharp teeth. The dog sees them and barks. + +"Go away, dog!" Sara says. "You are mean and scary!" + +The dog does not go away. It jumps on the window and breaks the glass. The flashlight falls and breaks too. The room is dark and cold. + +"Help, help!" Ben cries. "The dog is coming!" + +Sara and Ben run to the door, but it is locked. They forgot to unlock it before they played. They scream and cry, but no one hears them. The dog comes in and bites them. They hurt a lot. They wish they did not play at night. They wish they listened to Mom and Dad. +Anna liked to watch TV a lot. She watched cartoons and songs and animals. She did not like to play with her toys or her brother. She was bossy and wanted to watch what she liked. + +One day, her mom said, "Anna, you watch too much TV. It is not good for your eyes and your brain. I recommend you play outside with your brother. He has a new ball and a bike. You can have fun and learn new things." + +Anna did not listen to her mom. She said, "No, I want to watch TV. TV is fun and I learn a lot. You are not the boss of me. Go away!" + +Her mom was sad and angry. She said, "OK, Anna, you can watch TV, but only for one hour. Then you have to turn it off and do something else. If you don't, I will take away your TV for a week." + +Anna said, "Fine, whatever." She turned on the TV and watched her favorite show. She did not look at the clock. She did not hear her mom call her. She did not care. + +After one hour, her mom came to the living room. She saw Anna still watching TV. She said, "Anna, your time is up. Turn off the TV now." + +Anna said, "No, I want to watch more. Just five minutes. Please, please, please." + +Her mom said, "No, Anna, you had your chance. You did not follow the rules. You are being very rude and selfish. I am taking away your TV for a week. Maybe then you will learn to listen and share." + +She reached for the remote control. Anna screamed and grabbed it. She pulled it hard. Her mom pulled it harder. They fought over the remote control. + +Then, something bad happened. The remote control broke. The TV went off. The screen cracked. Sparks flew. Smoke came out. The TV was broken. + +Anna and her mom were shocked. They looked at the broken TV and the broken remote control. They looked at each other. They felt very sorry and sad. + +Anna said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I should have played with my brother. I should not have been so bossy. I ruined the TV. I ruined everything." + +Her mom said, "Anna, I'm sorry too. I should have been more patient with you. I should have explained to you why watching too much TV is bad. I should not have been so angry. I broke the TV. I broke everything." + +They hugged each other and cried. They said they loved each other. They said they would try to be better. + +But the TV was still broken. They could not watch it anymore. They had to wait for a long time to get a new one. They had to find other things to do. They had to learn from their mistake. + +The end. +Lily liked to play with her brown sheep. She had many sheep, but her favorite was Brownie. Brownie was soft and fluffy and liked to follow Lily everywhere. Lily gave Brownie hugs and grass to eat. + +One day, Lily and Brownie went to the big field. There were many flowers and bugs and birds. Lily and Brownie had fun running and jumping and smelling the flowers. But then, Lily saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and loud and scary. Lily heard a boom and saw a flash. It was a storm! + +Lily was afraid of the storm. She wanted to go home. She looked for Brownie, but she could not see him. He was hiding behind a bush. Lily called his name, but he did not come. Lily ran to the bush and found Brownie. He was shaking and crying. He was afraid of the storm too. + +Lily hugged Brownie and said, "Don't be scared, Brownie. I am here. We will go home together. The storm will not hurt us." She took his hoof and led him to the path. But as they walked, another boom and flash came. The storm was very angry. It struck a big tree near them. The tree fell down and blocked the path. + +Lily and Brownie were trapped. They could not go home. They were very scared. They hugged each other and hoped the storm would go away. They prayed to God to help them. They waited and waited. + +After a long time, the storm stopped. The sky became blue and bright again. The sun came out and dried the wet grass. The birds sang and the flowers smiled. Lily and Brownie looked around and saw a rainbow. It was very pretty and colorful. It made them happy. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was Lily's dad. He had come to look for them. He saw the fallen tree and the rainbow. He saw Lily and Brownie. He was very glad. He ran to them and gave them a big hug. He said, "I am so happy you are safe, Lily and Brownie. You are very brave and smart. God heard your prayers and protected you. He sent the rainbow to show you his love. Let's go home and thank him." + +Lily and Brownie nodded and smiled. They were happy too. They followed Lily's dad to their home. They thanked God for the rainbow and for their dad. They thanked God for each other. They were the best friends ever. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to jump in the piles of leaves that their dad made with the rake. The rake was big and shiny, and it made a loud noise when it moved the leaves. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up a long, slimy thing. "Do you want to touch it?" + +"Yuck, no!" Lily said, making a face. "Worms are filthy. They live in the dirt and they have no legs. Put it back, Tom!" + +Tom did not listen. He thought the worm was funny and cool. He wanted to see what it felt like in his mouth. He opened his mouth and put the worm inside. He started to chew. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily screamed. "That's gross! Spit it out, spit it out!" + +But Tom did not spit it out. He chewed harder and harder, until he felt a sharp pain in his tongue. The worm was not a worm. It was a snake. A baby snake. And it bit Tom. + +Tom cried out and dropped the snake. He ran to the house, holding his tongue. Lily ran after him, scared and sorry. Their dad heard them and came out. He saw the snake and the blood and the rake. He was angry and worried. + +He took Tom to the hospital. The snake was poisonous. Tom was very sick. He had to stay in a bed with needles and tubes. He could not talk or play or eat. He was sad and lonely. Lily was sad and lonely too. She wished she had stopped Tom from chewing the snake. She wished they had never played with the rake. She wished they had a happy ending. +Ben was very excited. He saw a big package outside his door. He ran to open it. He hoped it was a new toy or a book. + +He ripped the paper and the tape. He opened the box. Inside was a fluffy bear. Ben smiled. He loved bears. He hugged the bear and lifted it up. + +But then he felt something tickle his nose. He tried to stop it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud. Achoo! + +The sneeze made the bear fly out of his hands. It landed on the floor. It rolled and bumped into a lamp. The lamp fell and broke. Glass and wires were everywhere. + +Ben looked at the messy room. He felt bad. He did not mean to break the lamp. He wanted to play with the bear. He started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see. She saw Ben and the bear and the lamp and the package. She was not angry. She hugged Ben and said it was okay. She said they would clean up the mess together. She said she was glad he liked the bear. She said it was a gift from Grandma. + +Ben smiled again. He said thank you to Mom and Grandma. He said sorry for the lamp. He picked up the bear and gave it a kiss. He said he would name it Sneezy. Mom laughed and said that was a good name. They cleaned up the mess and put the bear on Ben's bed. Ben was happy. He had a new friend. +Sara and Tom were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and knock them down. Sara was good at making shapes and Tom was good at making noises. They were having fun. + +Suddenly, the floor started to shake. The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. Sara and Tom felt scared. They did not know what was happening. They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, it's just an earthquake. It will stop soon." + +Sara and Tom did not know what an earthquake was. They asked their mom, "What is an earthquake?" She explained, "An earthquake is when the ground moves because of big rocks under it. Sometimes they break or slide and make the ground shake. It is not very common here, but it happens sometimes." + +Sara and Tom realized that the ground was not always still. They wondered what else could move under it. They asked their mom, "Are there other things under the ground?" She said, "Yes, there are many things under the ground. There are roots, worms, bugs, water, and more rocks. Some of them are good for the plants and the animals, and some of them are good for us." + +Sara and Tom wanted to see what was under the ground. They asked their mom, "Can we dig and find them?" She said, "Sure, but not now. The earthquake is over, but we need to check if everything is okay in the house. Maybe some things are broken or fallen. And we need to call dad and grandma and grandpa and tell them we are okay. And we need to eat lunch. You are both very hungry, I can tell." + +Sara and Tom looked at their mom. She was right. They were very hungry. They had been playing for a long time. They also wanted to make sure their dad and grandparents were okay. They decided to dig later, after lunch. They followed their mom to the kitchen. She made them sandwiches and milk. They ate and drank and felt better. They were glad they had a mom who knew what to do when the ground shook. They were also glad they had each other. They were a good team. They smiled and hugged their mom. She was chubby and warm and soft. They loved her very much. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, Ben had a new toy. It was a duck that could swim in the water. Ben was very happy with his new duck. He wanted to show it to Lily. + +He ran to the pond where Lily was feeding the birds. He shouted, "Lily, look at my new duck! It can swim and quack and flap its wings!" He threw his duck into the water and watched it float. Lily came closer and saw the duck. She smiled and said, "Wow, Ben, your duck is very nice. Can I play with it too?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Sure, Lily, you can play with it. But be careful, it is very special to me." He handed her a remote control that could make the duck move and make sounds. Lily took the remote control and pressed a button. The duck started to swim towards her. She pressed another button. The duck quacked loudly. She pressed another button. The duck flapped its wings. + +Lily was having fun with the duck. She pressed more buttons and made the duck do different things. She laughed and clapped her hands. Ben watched her and felt happy too. He was glad that Lily liked his new duck. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily pressed a button that she did not know. The duck stopped swimming and quacking and flapping. It opened its mouth and revealed a big surprise. It had a water gun inside its mouth. It sprayed water at Lily and Ben and the birds and the people in the park. Everyone got wet and angry. They shouted and ran away. Lily and Ben got soaked and scared. They dropped the remote control and the duck. They cried and hugged each other. + +The duck was not a nice toy. It was a mean toy. It ruined their fun and their friendship. Ben and Lily wished they never saw the new duck. They wished they had their old toys back. They learned a hard lesson. They learned that new is not always better. Sometimes, new is worse. +True was a dog who liked to run and play. He had a red ball that he chased and caught. He also had a blue rope that he liked to tug and pull. Sometimes, he played with his friend Spot, who was another dog. + +One day, True and Spot found a big tree in the park. The tree had many branches and leaves. It also had a swing that hung from a rope. True and Spot wanted to try the swing. They ran to the tree and jumped on the swing. + +True and Spot had fun on the swing. They went up and down, and side to side. They barked and wagged their tails. They felt the wind in their fur. They did not see the boy who came to the tree. + +The boy was not nice. He was harsh. He did not like dogs. He wanted the swing for himself. He saw True and Spot on the swing and got angry. He picked up a stick and threw it at them. He yelled and scared them. + +True and Spot jumped off the swing and ran away. They were sad and hurt. They did not understand why the boy was so harsh. They found a safe place under a bench and hid. They licked their wounds and comforted each other. + +The boy was happy. He had the swing for himself. He climbed on the swing and pushed himself. He did not see the blue rope that True and Spot had left on the ground. He did not see how the rope was tied to the swing rope. He did not see how the rope pulled the swing rope and made a knot. + +The boy swung higher and higher. He felt the swing rope tighten and stop. He felt himself fall and hit the ground. He felt pain and fear. He cried and called for help. + +True and Spot heard the boy cry. They felt sorry for him. They came out of their hiding place and ran to the boy. They licked his face and nuzzled his hand. They tried to make him feel better. + +The boy was surprised. He saw True and Spot and their blue rope. He realized what had happened. He felt ashamed and sorry. He apologized to True and Spot and thanked them. He untied the rope and freed the swing. + +True and Spot forgave the boy. They decided to share the swing with him.

They wanted to win a trophy for their team. One day, they had a big game against another team. The other team was very good and fast. + +Tim and Kim tried hard to score goals, but they could not. The other team scored many goals and made them sad. Tim and Kim started to get angry and blame each other. They said mean things and pulled each other's shirts. They stopped working together and playing nice. + +The coach saw them and called them out. He said, "Tim and Kim, you are not helping your team. You are hurting your team. You need to be kind and share the ball. You need to help each other and cheer each other up. That is how you win a trophy, not by fighting and pulling." + +Tim and Kim felt sorry and hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, coach. We are sorry, team. We will be kind and share the ball. We will help each other and cheer each other up." They went back to the game and played better. They scored some goals and had fun. + +The game ended and the other team won. They got the trophy and held it high. Tim and Kim felt sad, but they clapped and smiled. They said, "Good game, good game. You played very well. You deserve the trophy."

They gave Tim and Kim the trophy and let them hold it for a while. + +Tim and Kim felt happy and proud. They learned that being kind and sharing is more important than winning. They learned that the trophy is not so distant if they work together and play nice. They learned that soccer is more fun when they are friends. +Anna and Ben love to play in the garden.

Tom and Lily think it is exciting. They see the cars go zoom, zoom, zoom on the road. They see the cars jump over bridges and ramps. They see the cars chase and crash. + +But then, the film gets too scary. The cars have bad people in them. The bad people have guns and masks. They want to hurt the good people in the cars. They shoot and shout and smash. Tom and Lily get frightened. They hide behind dad and cover their ears. + +Dad sees that Tom and Lily are frightened. He turns off the film and hugs them.

You are a good friend," Lila said. + +They went inside and asked their mom for a band-aid. She cleaned their wounds and kissed them. She told them to be careful next time and to respect the plants.

And it won't take long. Just do these five math problems, and then you can go. I promise." + +Lily sighed and went to the table. She took out her pencil and paper and started to do the math problems.
